Kevin Peter Pietersen is a 34 year-old professional cricketer, and the highest England run scorer in all international forms of the game combined.
'The book that rocked the English cricketing world' Mail on Sunday When Kevin Pietersen was dropped from the English cricket team at the beginning of 2014, fans were left scratching their heads. KP was the team's leading run-scorer during that winter's Ashes tour; the highest run-scorer in English cricketing history, in fact. So why did his face no longer fit? In his explosive autobiography, KP provides his take on what the answer to that question might be. As well as reliving some of the pivotal moments in his career and offering an insight into what drives him to play the way he does, he provides a fascinating look behind the closed doors of an elite sports unit, and at the dynamics there that can either make - or break - a team.
