He wrote a book about his career trying to get a match with Jose Capablanca. He presents 100 games where the main theme is using opponent's inaccurate opening and punishing them for it. I think it's called "On the road to World Championship"
"On the Road to the World Championship" is out of print, but you can get used paperback copies for $50 or more via Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Road-World-Championship-1923-1927/dp/0080297307

Oh that's a shame
Alékhine's own books are good, but not objective and contain errors.
The best is probably My Great Predecessors by Kasparov.

Yes I had a first edition and it was a good book. He's a very interesting person. Possibly an unpleasant person but a great player. Pretty much any biography should be a good read.
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for good books on Alexander Alekhine? I'm a new player, comparatively, and not very good, but I feel like a necessary step in one's chess journey is finding some grandmaster they find quite interesting. Mine's Alekhine. I was hoping to find books on his biography, his games, and also on his untimely death. I'd appreciate any recommendations you have, only in English, regrettably.
Thanks.
Addendum.
Apologies if this is the wrong subforum for it, but it's Chess Players, and he is definitely one of them.
