Bradman vs Bodyline: The inside story of the most notorious Ashes series in history by Roland Perry

THE 1932-33 ASHES WAS THE MOST
NOTORIOUS AND POLARISING SERIES IN THE
HISTORY OF CRICKET.

The events of that turbulent summer centred
around Don Bradman, the greatest batsman
ever to play the game. With him in their side,
 Australia appeared unbeatable. And yet 
England alleged they had found the one
shortcoming in Bradman's extraordinary technique.
Their ruthless attempts to exploit that real or
imagined vulnerability created an international
crisis that threatened the very fabric of the Empire.

Using new material and his previous
unparalleled access to Sir Donald Bradman,
Roland Perry has written the definitive account
of Bradman and the Bodyline series.
Compelling, extensively researched and full of
new insights, Bradman vs Bodyline takes us
behind the scenes as first Arthur Carr then
Douglas Jardine planned a 'fast leg theory'
attack designed to potentially injure Australia's
unstoppable batsman, and the rest of the team,
to allow England to retake the Ashes.

From Bodyline's genesis in English county 
cricket to the key protagonists of Jardine,
Harold Larwood and Bradman himself, Roland
Perry has written the complete and captivating
story of a  sporting outrage that came closer to
destroying the relationship between Australia
and England than anything before or since.
