This book offers a radical reappraisal of bodyline which challenges the official interpretations of the events, and places them in a unique social and political context. . |
Editorial Review | This is a fascinating book... The reader will better understand the effects of the British Empire and, for anyone interested in the Bodyline Tour, the angle taken by this book makes it an invaluable addition to the many books written on the subject.- Andrew Roberts, Cricket Statistics |
