Book Review: Mount Panorama by John Smailes

One very positive outcome of journalist-turned-PR guru John Smailes closing his successful and long-running business is his recent inclination to stay amused and busy writing books on subjects that have long intrigued him. So in quick succession we got to read his quite wonderful Climbing the Mountain tome on Allan Moffat, and then Race Across the World, his deeply researched and brilliantly told story of the 1968 London-Sydney Marathon.
