An older book and out of print that I found useful was Keith Miller; The Golden Nugget by R S Whitington and can be tracked down online. Miller himself wrote quite extensively, such as in Cricket Crossfire be Keith Miller, again a second hand book these days but available online. For a more contemporary version and ultimately the most authoritative account, is Miller's Luck: The Life and Loves of Keith Miller, Australia's Greatest All-Rounder by Roland PerrySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
