A detailed and evocative account of the notorious 1932–33 Bodyline Ashes series between England and Australia. Ronald Mason provides a balanced yet vivid chronicle of the tactics, personalities, and controversies that defined one of cricket’s most infamous episodes.
With an introduction by R.E.S. Wyatt, the book revisits the sporting, ethical, and political turmoil surrounding Douglas Jardine’s leadership and the fast-bowling strategy that shocked the cricketing world.
The book is becoming more scarce in good condition due to the publisher’s small print run.
