Sir Donald Bradman is considered by every prime minister from Billy Huges to Paul Keating to be the greatest Australian ever born. He became a legend while still young, and that status while still young, and that status grew as a result of his deeds and characters even during retirement. But what is a myth and what is real? What motivated Bradman to be the best, break every cricket record and win every possible competition for his country? Who were his enemies, his finest adversaries? What were the facts behind crises such as bodyline, a method of attack designed to destroy Bradman? And how did he cope with unprecedented public adulation , in Australia and the UK, when others could not? These answers and more can be found in The Don, a biography based on exclusive and extensive interviews with Bradman and his contemporaries, interviews in which they reflected on his cricket career and life. Roland Perry has written a vivid and illuminating book which reaches to the heart of the true Bradman character and has far more biographical information than ever before published. Perry traces the untold story of Bradman's early years and largely ignored early battling achievements and brings to life with mood and detail every major performances including his eighty Test innings.
