Revision as of 05:23, 12 December 2008 by Mattinbgn (talk | contribs) (criticism)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff) For the American sculptor, see Roland Hinton Perry.Roland Perry (born 1946) is a Melbourne-based author. He has written numerous books, both fiction and non-fiction, including Monash: The Outsider Who Won The War, which won "The Federation of Australian Writers Melbourne University Publishing Award" in 2004. Perry has also written biographies on Sir Donald Bradman, Steve Waugh, and others. Perry recently published his twentieth book; The Ashes: A Celebration, a book commemorating The Ashes.
Perry's works have been the subject of some criticism, including from fellow cricket writer Gideon Haigh. Haigh was critical of Perry's book Captain Australia—a book on Australia's Test cricket captains—claiming that Perry had "... a disquieting tendency to, quite casually, mangle information for no particular reason" and "... there are assertions whose origins are, at least, somewhat elusive." .
