Profiles in Polo
This book, with contributions from many of the world's leading polo journalists, profiles more than 30 of the most influential polo players from history.

Each chapter covers an individual player, including early pioneers, those who played during the "golden era" (the years between World War I and World War II), superstars, game-changers, and great contemporaries. The book includes numerous photographs and a foreword by H.R.H. The Prince of Wales.
