The Don

About this book

Sir Donald Bradman is considered by every prime minister from Billy Hughes to Paul Keating to be the greatest Australian ever born. He became a legend while still young, and that status grew as a result of his deeds and character even during retirement. But what is a myth and what is real? What motivated Bradman to be the best? Who were his enemies? This biography answers these questions based on interviews with Bradman and his contemporaries.
