Almanac Books: ‘Not Playing the Game’ – Xavier Fowler
After watching an Anzac Day clash between Essendon and Collingwood in 2002, and absorbing how ‘sport and war shared a unique relationship in this country, [and] one to be celebrated’ as promoted by the AFL and journalists, author and historian Xavier Fowler began to question this assumption. His questioning of war and sport eventually leads to the publication of his book Not Playing The Game: Sport and Australia’s Great War. Xavier explains some background details about his book leading up to its release on 1 November by Melbourne University Press.
