But at last there is credence in an author's claims to have produced the "Definitive Biography" of The Don. Authoritative and comprehensive, yes. But insightful too. From the Bowral boy whose ambition was to represent New South Wales, to Test match record breaker, to nonagenarian recluse, Bradman is painted above all as a human being. Most important of all, the tone is of the writer, not the statistician.
With exclusive and rare access to the Don in researching this book, Perry answers the most interesting question of all: What made someone who was a good, but not outstanding, teenage cricketer have a Test average almost 40 runs better than his nearest rival? The answer is not in a single sentence, but in the portrait of a shy but confident boy, unorthodox and self-taught who burned with ambition and danced to his own tune. --Thrasy Petropoulos
