From the Publisher:
The glamorous and debonair Australian all-rounder Keith Miller was one of cricket's most legendary figures. Roland Perry's authorised biography celebrates a man who, like his lifelong friend Denis Compton, lived life to the full: a batsman who could take a bowling attack apart and a fearsome fast bowler, but also a man with a prodigious appetite for gambling, alcohol and women - Princess Margaret apparently one of many liaisons - who could be ruthless as well as charming.
He was a hero not only in epic Ashes battles but also as a wartime Mosquito flyer, whose lifelong 'survivor's guile' compelled him to visit the distant graves of fallen colleagues.
