Bob Hawke's greatest sporting moment? It's in this book. How to become a millionaire in Australia? Ditto. The saga of un hold-up in a lost village in the south of France? Look no further. Sometimes pensive, sometimes provocative and often offbeat, ***Basking in Beirut is always entertaining. A current Wallaby who has played seven Rugby Union tests for Australia, FitzSimons lived for five years in Europe, playing rugby and writing stories. Now quadrilingual, he works as a journalist with the ***Sydney Morning Herald, **Wide World of Sports and ***The Today Show, and is a regular guest on ***The Midday Show.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377227383003,"sku":"9781863730525-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9781863730525-us-300.jpg?v=1754125953","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781863730525-secondhand-basking-in-beirut-and-other-adventures-with-peter-fitzsimons","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
