Perry, Roland, 1946-2021
Books
The definitive story of the most controversial chapter in the history of Australian and English cricket - the notorious Bodyline series, by Roland Perry, author of Sir Donald Bradman's authorised biography, The Don. 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 of 1932/33. Compelling, deeply researched and full of new insights, Bradman vs Bodyline takes us behind the scenes as Douglas Jardine planed his Leg Theory attack, designed to intimidate and potentially injure the world's greatest batsman and allow England to seize back the Ashes. From its genesis in English county cricket, to the key protagonists of Jardine, Harold Larwood and Bradman himself, Roland Perry has written a riveting account of a sporting outrage that came close to destroying the relationship between Australia and England.
