"Fire in Babylon" is the breathtaking story of the achievements of one of the most gifted teams in sporting history. In a turbulent era of apartheid in South Africa, race riots in England, and civil unrest in the Caribbean, the West Indian cricketers, led by the enigmatic Viv Richards, struck a defiant blow at the forces of white prejudice worldwide. Their undisputed skill, combined with a fearless spirit, allowed them to dominate the genteel game at the highest level, replaying it on their own terms.
