Art of Badminton

George Alan Thomas

An instructional guide to the sport of badminton, presented by a 21-time All-England champion! Also a two-time British chess champion, his strategic acumen shines through both in his badminton and tennis tactics. One of my favourite quotes from the book perfectly captures his mindset: "I prefer to expect the best stroke my opponent has any reasonable chance of making; that is, the stroke which is most likely to cause me trouble." - Summary by Rapunzelina
