A great depression, worsening Anglo-Australian relations, the declining British Empire and the challenge from an Australia striving to find a national identity are the context which explain bodyline and its repercussions. Bodyline was a watershed in the history of cricket and politics were publicly seen as part of sport. This book offers a radical reappraisal of bodyline which challenges the official interpretations of the events, and places them in a unique social and political context. .

"Cricket and Empire" is certainly not the worst I have read on Bodyline and Ric Sissons goes beyond the usual facile coverage of the sporting event that apparently almost severed diplomatic relations between Australia and England. ( )
