Bradman's Invincibles

Inside account of one of the greatest cricket tours of all time - and the unique characters who played. In 2008, Australia celebrates two important anniversaries - it will be 60 years since the triumphant 'Invincibles' Ashes tour of England, and 100 years since the birth of Sir Donald Bradman. At last, here is the definitive account of that amazing tour. It is very much an 'inside account': Roland Perry conducted long, in-depth interviews with Sir Donald while writing his biography some years ago - and now writes of them for the first time. In addition, Roland Perry has interviewed many of the surviving team members. Much more than account of a series of cricket matches, this is also a portrait of a collection of great characters - all different, but all making a unique contribution. This incredible combination of sportsmen won 34 matches in a row over one gruelling summer. They were truly great - and they were captained by the best cricketer the world has ever seen. Bradman's Invincibles is the story of what they did, and how they did it.
