Today I am catching up with best selling Australian Author - Roland Perry, about his upcoming book - Oliphant.
As the juicy title of this video would suggest, Sir Mark Oliphant was the Australian Scientist who was actually able to build the atomic bomb - which is more often than not, accredited to the theoretical physicist Robert J. Oppenheimer.

Roland Perry is of course also the author of the The Shaman, among over 40 other books including multiple best sellers. The Shaman is the story based on Roland’s interview’s and experiences with Malcolm Bendall - and we will explore the connection between the work of these two pioneering Australian scientists, Mark Oliphant and Malcolm Bendall in the interview too.

Oliphant will be available globally online and in all good retailers from September 30th 2025.
