Faster. Higher. Stronger. No one has embodied the ideals of the
Olympic movement quite like Eric Liddell, star of the Oscar-winning film
Chariots of Fire. After refusing to compete on religious
principle in the event in which he was favourite, the 100 metres, at the
1924 Games in Paris, Liddell won an astonishing gold medal in the 400
metres. But instead of pursuing a path of global fame and fortune, he
chose to follow his calling as a missionary in the country of his birth,
China, a land which then fell under the iron grip of a brutal Japanese
army.

Liddell became the inspirational leader of the work camp in which he, like many thousands, was interned, and For the Glory
is the full story of his life, of his family, of his fellow prisoners
and the terrible hardships and atrocities they experienced in the Far
East. This is the tale of a sporting icon, a man of honour and principle
who paid the ultimate sacrifice while becoming the moral centre of an
otherwise unbearable world.
