Omschrijving

West Indies legend Sir Clyde Walcott was one of the greatest cricketers of all time, but he was also an important administrator and activist. This first biography offers a detailed examination of his extraordinary life and achievements.

‘Peter Mason’s book gives us a timely reminder of the huge impact that Clyde Walcott, who often seems to be the least celebrated of the “three Ws”, had both on and off the field. It is also a fascinating exploration of how the West Indies came to dominate the game for so long at the end of the twentieth century. A wonderfully crisp, concise account of a great West Indian’s contribution to the game.’
Vic Marks, journalist and former England cricketer

‘Authoritative, accessible and insightful. A must-have for anyone interested in this crucial era of the West Indian game, written by an author with a profound understanding of his subject.’
Simon Lister, author of Fire in Babylon: How the West Indies Cricket Team Brought a People to its Feet

'A lucid, accessible and necessary work on a towering personality not only in West Indies cricket but in the sport universally.'
Clem Seecharan, author of Joe Solomon and the Spirit of Port Mourant

‘Peter Mason has written a worthy and essential assessment of one of the most consequential figures in West Indies cricket history.’
Simon Wilde, author of The Tour: The Story of the England Cricket Team Overseas



Peter Mason is a journalist and author who writes for the Guardian newspaper in the UK. His books include Bacchanal!: The Carnival Culture of Trinidad, Jamaica in Focus and a biography of the Trinidadian cricketer and statesman Learie Constantine.
