Books by Tony Barker

Tony Barker is an Associate Professor of History in the University of Western Australia. Born in Yorkshire in 1938, he studied history at Sheffield University and management at Manchester University, then worked in industry in London and, after emigrating in 1963, in Sydney and Melbourne. Changing careers in the late 1960s, he taught and gained his MA at Sydney University and his PhD at London University before moving to Perth in 1973. The commission to write the history of the WACA has allowed him for the first time to apply his professional training and experience as an academic historian to a lifelong love of cricket.
