SIDELIGHTS: Author Gideon Haigh is a journalist, editor, and sports historian whose books frequently cover business and sports subjects. In more than twenty years as a journalist and reporter, he has written for many major Australian newspapers as well as periodicals such as the Financial Times and the Age. "Haigh is able, through clever turn of phrase, to successfully review events and turn the mundane into the interesting," commented a reviewer on the History of Cricket Web log. Bad Company: The Cult of the CEO, published in the United States as Fat Cats: The Strange Cult of the CEO, is a detailed study of the role of the chief executive officer, especially in light of the fame and near-celebrity status that some CEOs have attained. Haigh's aim is "to trace the rise of big-company CEOs, to assess how important they are to company performance, and to question their remuneration," noted reviewer Philip Augar in Management Today. In the wake of modern corporate scandals such as those at Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, and others, CEOs have attracted as much scorn and infamy as they have admiration and respect. Looming large in the public perception of CEOs are the sometimes astronomical salaries and benefits packages they routinely command, even while their companies may be undergoing severe financial crises and rank-and-file workers are being laid off to slash operating costs. In his book, Haigh traces how the perceptions of CEOs have evolved over time, how they have frequently come to be treated with the same awe and reverence as sports stars, and how they have sometimes represented all that is unfair and dysfunctional about the business world. The author includes a number of anecdotes about important CEOs of the past, including Ford and Rockefeller. Haigh outlines the evolution of business from the 1960s to the modern days of dot.com boom and bust along with lavish corporate excess. He describes several businesses and their CEOs, and recounts what went wrong during some of the most spectacular corporate failures of recent years. Throughout his account, "Haigh weaves secondary material skillfully and is well acquainted with the work of top business writers," Augar observed. Ultimately, Haigh concludes that CEOs are "overrated and over-paid," Augar reported. Asbestos House: The Secret History of James Hardie Industries is Haigh's business history of one of Australia's oldest and most respected companies. Founded in 1888, James Hardie Industries is a prominent fixture in Australia's business landscape. However, the company's reputation and vast fortunes were built through involvement with asbestos, a substance once considered useful and benign but which has been proven to be the source of many terrible health problems for those exposed to it. Haigh covers James Hardie Industries' history and evolution; its disavowal of responsibility for any asbestos-related diseases and the public and political outcry that resulted; and the deal that the company was forced to accept. Rachael Power, writing in Arena Magazine, named the book a detailed study of "high finance, industrial history, legal intrigue, medical breakthrough, and human frailty." Haigh is also well known as a sportswriter who focuses on Australian cricket. "Haigh is undoubtedly an author of the highest quality, but importantly for us, he is an author that chooses to write about cricket," remarked the History of Cricket Web log reviewer. He is a player himself, as a member of a cricket club called the Yarras, noted a Eye on the Ashes Web log contributor. Among his many cricket-centered works are The Cricket War: The Inside Story of Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket; Endless Summer: 140 Years of Australian Cricket in Wisden; and Inside Story: Unlocking Australian Cricket's Archives. Haigh often writes on the history of cricket and presents biographies of prominent teams and individuals in the sport. In The Big Ship: Warwick Armstrong and the Making of Modern Cricket, Haigh presents a detailed profile of Warwick Armstrong, one of Australian cricket's strongest, most effective, and best-known players. Large and imposing, Armstrong earned his nickname through his sheer physical size and strength. Haigh assesses Armstrong's influence on the sport of Australian cricket, examines his impressive record, and explains that Armstrong retired unbeaten following a prestigious sports career. "Mr Haigh's is an uncommonly exhaustive study of a cricketer and his time," commented a reviewer in the Economist. "His style is that of a historian who weighs evidence and detects the sweep of a whole life rather than that of a chronicler of contemporary celebrity." Mystery Spinner: The Story of Jack Iverson is a biography of Iverson, an unlikely cricket superstar from the mid-twentieth century who "zoomed like a shooting star into the great Australian team of 1950, and just as swiftly zoomed out of it again," commented Robert Winder in the New Statesman. Iverson was not originally a cricket player, but he developed a unique playing style based on years of spinning a ping pong ball as a nervous habit. This technique transferred successfully to the turning of a cricket ball, and soon Iverson found himself playing in major matches pitting Australia against England. His career was short-lived; without

    In from the Cold: Tom Wills – A Nineteenth Century Sporting Hero By Gregory Mark de Moore A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Human Movement, Recreation and Performance Faculty of Arts, Education and Human Development Victoria University Melbourne, Victoria September 2008 i Abstract Tom Wills was the most important Australian sportsman of the mid-nineteenth century, but it is only in the first decade of the twenty-first century that he has grown in profile as a figure of cultural significance. Although Tom Wills is best recalled as the most important figure in early Australian Rules football, it was cricket that dominated his life. He rose to prominence in cricket during his time at Rugby school in England during the 1850s. When he returned to Australia he became the captain of the Victorian cricket team. On 10 July 1858 he penned what has become one of the most famous documents in Australian sporting history: a letter calling for the formation of a ‘foot- ball’ club. Only three years later his father was murdered by aborigines in central Queensland in what is recorded as the highest number of European settlers killed by aborigines in a single assault. Remarkably, only five years after his father’s murder, Tom Wills coached an aboriginal cricket team from western Victoria. Tom Wills’ life ended early, as did so many lives of colonial sportsmen, shortened by the effects of alcohol. Alcohol abuse led directly to the suicide of Wills at the age of 44 years. This thesis is the first academic attempt to uncover and then critically review some of the important parameters that shaped his life.
