Shortlisted for the 2013 Prime Minister's Literary Awards. The Australian and English Test cricketers who fought and survived together in WWII came home planning to resume the Ashes in a new spirit of friendship. Australia's legendary captain had something else in mind. The 1948 'Invincibles' are the only Australian team to complete a tour of England undefeated. In his compelling account, Malcolm Knox exposes the mixed feelings among the fans, commentators and players – from both teams – about the manner in which their feats were achieved. At its heart was a rift between players who had experienced the horrors of active duty, epitomised by the fiery RAAF pilot Keith Miller, and those who had not, such as the invalided Bradman. Bradman's War celebrates the talents of Ray Lindwall, Sid Barnes, Lindsay Hassett, Bill Johnston, Arthur Morris and, of course, their irrepressible captain, but wonders if the Don's single-minded tactics, even against the war-ravaged veterans of the country clubs, cost Test cricket the opportunity to be played for the love of the game. 'The last word on a seminal chapter in Australian sporting history.' Inside Sport 'An excellent work by an outstanding journalist.' Courier-mail 'Poised and evocative.' The Age

During the 2014-15 season Australia stages the eleventh ICC World Cup of Cricket, with fourteen nations competing in 49 fifty-over matches. At the same time the Bradman Museum, a monument to the greatest cricketer of all time, celebrates its 25th anniversary. To mark that milestone at a time when the eyes of the cricketing world will be on Australia, this book reveals for the first time in print the founding treasure of the Bradman Museum: the Don's personal collection of 35-mm slides. With Bradman's typed commentary and handwritten amendments alongside, the slides showcase the history of cricket, from its agrarian beginnings in England to its status as a game of Empire, fit for introduction to the colonies. Grace, Hobbs, Hendren, Larwood, O'Reilly, McCabe, Lindwall, Trueman - on these legends and many more Bradman gives us his opinion with characteristic directness. We gain insight into the game as he saw it in all its magic. While Bradman's personal slide collection forms the centrepiece of this stunning collection, the work of three of cricket's greatest photographers are also featured. Among Bruce Postle's black and white photos from the 1960s and 70s are iconic shots that will thrill any cricket lover. Vivian Jenkins' work brings to life the drama of the 1970s and World Series Cricket, while Philip Brown's camera ranges across international cricket up to the present day. This treasure trove of cricket is woven seamlessly together by the matchless commentary of Mike Coward, one of Australia's most acclaimed experts.

Many people interested in cricket might very well view another book about Don Bradman with a sigh and wonder if there can be anything new to say on the subject. It is, of course, an understandable reaction as up until now books about 'The Don' have followed a similar pattern, concentrating almost exclusively on his achievements and life story as the greatest exponent of the art of batsmanship in the 20th Century. However, what no book about Bradman has tackled until now is the reasons why he was so much better than anyone else. 'Bradman Revisited - The Legacy of Sir Donald Bradman' does just that. Drawing on the thoughts of Bradman himself, contemporary eye-witness accounts, film and video evidence and recent research done at the John Moores University in Liverpool, author Tony Shillinglaw gets to the heart of the matter of the Bradman phenomenon, revealing the answers to the most important questions: What made Don Bradman so much better than anyone else? What was his secret? Can his method be adopted by aspiring batsmen? It also addresses the reasons why Bradman was misunderstood during his playing career, and why nobody until now has made a fully comprehensive study of the method
