Description

Never Surrender is the biography of England cricket captain Douglas Jardine, whose success in winning the Ashes in Australia in 1932/33 was tarnished by the use of bodyline bowling, which was seen as unsporting. Now, with Jardine's reputation on the rise, Mark Peel reassesses this complex character and outstanding leader.
