Don Bradman: the definitive biography. Roland Perry. 2014.

Don Bradman is the story of an Australian legend - the best cricketer the world has ever seen.

Comprehensively researched, a compelling and immensely readable narrative, Don Bradman is the story of how ‘the boy from Bowral’ became one of our most remarkable and enduring sporting heroes, inspiring our nation during the dark days of the Depression, the Second World War and beyond with world-record breaking scores in sensational innings - and establishing a reputation that endures to the present day.

Based on exclusive interviews with Bradman himself, this biography of the man who came to be known simply as The Don was widely acclaimed on first publication in 1995, and reveals how his success was based on a crucial mixture of determination, ambition - and that extraordinary talent which was so often described as ‘genius’.
