Bradman
by Charles Williams
On This Page
Description
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 recognize as "nationhood," Bradman became a focus for national aspirations and a figure of unique status. Williams' story is as much about show more Australia as it is a great Australian. show lessTags
