Viac o knihe
Focusing on the life of Sir Clyde Walcott, this biography highlights his dual legacy as a cricketing legend and a political activist. As part of the iconic 'three Ws' in the 1950s, he helped redefine West Indies cricket. Post-retirement, he became a significant administrator, advocating for Black consciousness and managing successful West Indies teams in the 1980s. Notably, he was the first Black chairman of the International Cricket Council in 1992, using cricket as a platform for social change and improving conditions for workers in Guyana.
