Description: The Cricketers of 1945 is the compelling poignant and above all human story of the reawakening of English cricket in the immediate aftermath of the world's most destructive war. The book brings to life the summer's Victory Tests played on home soil between England and Australia as well as the personal stories of the players and their families plus those of some of the hundreds of thousands of spectators who flocked to the matches to celebrate the return of something approaching normal life after the ordeal and sacrifice of the war years. This vivid account is illuminated by fresh archival research encompassing the diaries and personal letters of both cricketers and cricket lovers giving the reader a strong sense of what it was like to be alive at this unique time as much of the world awoke or was still awakening from the nightmare ordeal of the long years of conflict.
