Documenting how the game roused itself in the build-up to the 2005 Ashes, Giles brings an astute eye to the madness of that unforgettable summer, offering the inside track on a series that would irrevocably change the course of English cricket. At times poignant and heartrending, this is a deeply intimate portrayal of a sportsman on the edge, surviving the enemies of self-doubt and imposter syndrome to remain a constant presence in the combustible dressing rooms of Pietersen, Flintoff, Vaughan and Hussain.
Based on personal writings stretching back to his early days as a rookie at Warwickshire, this is the story of a singular cricketer, one whose resilience and inner steel propelled him time and again to the gates of sporting history.
