    Second Best
    History is always written by the winners and about the winners. But what about the poor souls lurking in the shadows of history, the ones<br/>who were just as remarkable but perhaps didn't stick their chests out as they crossed the line?<br/>In Second Best, Australia's foremost historian and comedian Ben Pobjie celebrates the nobility and altogether more fascinating stories of<br/>the silver-medal getters. What drove them on their incredible feats, why did they just miss out, and how did they cope with the oblivion<br/>of finishing second?<br/>From the Second Fleet, the second man on the moon and Australia's second prime minister whose name we consistently forget, Second<br/>Best shines a light on those plucky men and women who, through no fault of their own - or at least only a little bit of fault of their own<br/>- didn't quite get there before everyone else, but did get there before almost everyone else.
