Tony Greig is one of most colourful figures in English cricket history. As a player he stirred up drama and excitement whenever he stepped on the field and as national team captain he was accused of 'betrayal' after taking a leading role in the formation of Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket. David Tossell's biography uses extensive research and multiple interviews - including with Greig himself - to examine whether cricket history has been fair to one of England's most successful all-rounders and if his achievements on the field are condemned to be forever overshadowed by off-field controversy.
