Focusing on the life of Sir Clyde Walcott, this biography highlights his dual legacy as a cricketing legend and a significant political activist. As part of the 'three Ws' in the 1950s, he transformed West Indies cricket, establishing a new identity. Beyond his playing career, he became a key administrator and advocate for Black consciousness, notably opposing apartheid and serving as the first Black chairman of the ICC. The book also emphasizes his role in improving social conditions for sugar estate workers in Guyana and fostering emerging cricket talent.
