Orr is a comprehensive and controversial biography of Sydney Sparkes Orr, a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Tasmania. The book meticulously documents the events surrounding Orr’s dismissal from his academic post in the 1950s, a case that became one of Australia's most infamous academic scandals. Accused of misconduct involving a young female student, Orr consistently maintained his innocence, and Eddy's account suggests a conspiracy and miscarriage of justice by the university council. Spanning over 760 pages and enriched with illustrations and a frontispiece portrait, the book serves both as a detailed historical record and a pointed critique of institutional power and academic politics
