| Description: |
Sir Donald Bradman is regarded as the greatest batsman in the history of cricket and his achievements are the stuff of legend. Here is the Don's story told by a distinguished biographer who was himself a top-class cricketer. |
| Synopsis: |
BRADMAN is a masterly portrait of cricket's supreme batsman and Australia's greatest hero. Uniquely among biographers of Don Bradman, Charles Williams sets his subject's cricketing achievements within the context of a crucial period in the history of modern Australia, a time when, as the country felt her way towards something that the world would recognise as 'nationhood', Bradman became a focus for national aspirations, a figure of unique status. Brilliantly revealing the phenomenon of Bradman's cricketing genius and the tensions that genius created for the man, his family, team-mates and the game's administrators - Williams' story is as much about Australia as it is a great Australian |
