Sobre IBD

This fresh analysis of the England - Australia ’Bodyline Controversy’ of 1932-33 uncovers hypocrisy on both sides of the furore, drawing on interviews with English ’villain of the piece’, Harold Larwood. The book analyses the influence of Australian culture on events, and on distortions previously accepted as fact. Times change and truth emerges.
