      Summary of Bond (Terence Maher)

      Important Note About This Ebook

      This is a summary and not a critique or a review of the book. It does not offer judgment or opinion on the content of the book. This summary may not be organized chapter-wise but is an overview of the main ideas, viewpoints and arguments from the book as a whole. This means that the organization of this summary is not a representation of the book.

      1. Early 1950s – School in England

      Alan Bond was born at Ealing, London on 22nd April 1938. He was the second child born to Kathleen and Frank Bond following the birth of their daughter 18 months earlier.

      Frank Bond was Welsh, and had begun his working life in the South Wales coalmines. Kathleen Bond nee Smith was the daughter of a physician and conservative politician of some note. In London, Frank Bond found work as a painter and decorator. In the Second World War, Frank Bond enlisted as a PT. instructor in the Royal Air Force responsible for training commandos. In 1944, he was badly wounded in action and lost a lung. He was told that for health reasons, he would have to move away from London’s damp climate.

      Alan Bond attended primary school in England and seemed to do well enough.

This decision was made partly to improve his father’s health, and partly to give them the chance to start afresh after the war had ended. On arriving in Fremantle, Alan Bond hated the place and missed London.

      Fremantle at that time was most definitely a working class town. The union influence in the area was powerful, and wharf laborers dominated the town’s population. It had a reputation throughout Australia as a hard town in a very hostile environment. However, Fremantle was an extremely busy place as everything the settlers needed had to be shipped in from Eastern Australia while exports from Fremantle included gold, wool and tons of wheat.
