Recenzii
A tremendous read. it's brimful of classic reportage, held together by a terrific storyline
A fascinating account in masterly detail of an extraordinary episode in Australian cricket. Highly recommended
There are various claimants to the title of 'world's best cricket writer', yet no dispute about who, today, is the best writer on cricket. This is the Australian, Gideon Haigh
Haigh shows a supreme gift for old-fashioned journalistic foot-slogging and the art of telling a great story with a brisk, unfussy narrative.
Haigh towers over the cricket writing landscape in Australia
The most detailed history of the 'war' so far
Superbly researched and written
The reverberations of the war are still being felt in Australia and in world cricket. This book will be timely for all those who want to understand what took place in the still recent past - and what could well happen in the near future
Haigh writes with wit, perception and a pace that rivals Roberts ... The Cricket War is an example of what can be done with fine writing, thorough and imaginative research and a mature approach to sports book publishing
Arguably the best cricket book yet written
The Cricket War has been rightly acclaimed as a masterpiece of research
Informative and insightful
