Kieren Perkins is arguably our greatest swimmer ever. He is both the supreme standard-bearer for Australian sport in the '90s and the embodiment of young Australia's hopes and dreams - all in a single, lean, strong package.

For a nine-year-old Brisbane boy, seriously injured in a household accident, weekly remedial swimming lessons grew into a passion that was destined to lift him to heights unheard of before or since. Kieren Perkins' crowning achievement (so far), his brave and incredible win in the 1500m freestyle final of Atlanta's Games, will stand forever in Australia's pantheon of sporting achievement. But was it any better than his gold medal swim four years earlier in Barcelona, grafted-out under such crushing pressure? Or any one of the 11 world records that he has established?

In 'Kieren Perkins' those who know him pay due homage to a magnificent sportsman. Friends, admirers and fellow champions from a wide spectrum of public and sporting life have their say on the legend. Illustrated by over 100 extraordinary photographs, documenting his life and career, 'Kieren Perkins' is a worthy tribute to a great Australian.
