'Rhrough a lively succession of revealing, poignant and amusing anecdotes this companion volume to the ABC TV program, Cricket in the '70s - The Chappell Era, demonstrates absolutely that this was an extraordinary time in the history of the game.
The book features extended excerpts from interviews with many Australian stars and several celebrated opponents.  The list includes England's Ray Illingworth, John Snow, Mike Denness and Tony Greig and the West Indies' Sir Garfield Sobers, Clive Lloyd and Sir Vivian Richards.
Written by Mike Coward, one of the game's most respected writers, and supported by an impressive array of photographs from the '70s and today, The Chappell Years will revive a score of memories for all who were won over by the great players, their legendary performances and the excitement generated throughout these tumultuous times.'
