{"product_id":"cannon-fire-michael-cannon-9780522878721","title":"Cannon Fire: A Life in Print","description":"Michael Cannon is best known as the author of landmark and popular works of Australian history, including \u003ci\u003eThe Land Boomers\u003c\/i\u003e (1966), and as the founding editor of \u003ci\u003eHistorical Records of Victoria\u003c\/i\u003e. But Cannon, the child and grandchild of important figures in Australian independent journalism, developed a fascination with print media early in his life and had a long and colourful career in printing, publishing, and editing books, newspapers, and magazines. In \u003ci\u003eCannon Fire\u003c\/i\u003e he brings to life many notable personalities with whom he worked, including Keith and Rupert Murdoch, and recreates the ink-stained, cigarette-smoke-filled, and always well-lubricated worlds of publishing across Melbourne and Sydney in the second half of the twentieth century. More than this, Cannon's intimate account of a life that began in the 1920s fascinates as both a personal story of unusual courage in the face of challenge and heartache, and as a tale of times now passing from memory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Cannon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0522878725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780522878721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Melbourne University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Michael Cannon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072440463615,"sku":"9780522878721","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a3cf84e7-713e-47c0-943e-8e9d6718bbfc.jpg?v=1685441981","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cannon-fire-michael-cannon-9780522878721","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
