A View of Australian Sport.
Beyond the hype and dollars, the pomposity and myth, this book tells the story of sport and its importance to Australia.
'One-Eyed' covers all States and all major sports; it gives women's sports long-overdue acknowledgement; it charts the growth of community sports and features lively accounts of individual achievements. In examining the way we win and lose, it shows how sport reflects (and can influence) the issues that have shaped and will shape our sense of who we are.
Neither jocks nor barrackers, cynics nor frenzied fans, Tatz and Booth have taken a long, hard look at Aussie sport. What these two affectionate critics of sport have discovered will surprise, irritate and inform.
