About This Item
The Author, 2019. Hardcover in Dustjacket. FINE!. BIOGRAPHY ""Australian football measures its players by skills and bravado that sets the great Australian game apart from many others. At Unley, in suburban Adelaide, Scott Field's name is remembered for his six senior seasons, his 125 SANFL league games, his 127 goals and his best-and-fairest award in 1992 at the Stuart Football Club. But the real measure of Field's strength was far from any sporting field. And far from home. At 24, Field spent 24 days in a Palestine Liberation Organization camp in the Middle East, hoping to get close enough to quiz then-Palestinian leader Yassar Arafat. This trip gave Field first-hand insight into the conflict in the Middle East and marked the beginning of his pursuit for peace in the region. Field's untimely death in 2014 on Mont Blanc-while serving as special envoy to Syria for the United Nations-left many who had known this young man from Adelaide as 'just a footballer' to marvel at all he had achieved in the two decades since his last game. - Michelangelo Rucci, Chief Football Writer, Adelaide Advertiser"" Colour illustrations on end papers. ""Academic, Sportsman, Humanitarian, Adventurer, Eccentric.""- 236 pages, 40 pages of plates : illustrations (chiefly colour), colour facsimiles, colour portraits ; 25 cm #200224 *** Signed by Author (inscription) Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
