From Word of Sport:
In addition to a thorough review of Hammond's magnificent cricket career, Foot also examines some of the darker aspects of his life: Why was he often so withdrawn and moody? Why was he regarded as a loner? Why were so many other cricketers of his day less than generous in their judgement of him as a man?
