No Ordinary Determination: Percy Black and Harry Murray of the AIF by Jeff Hatwell

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent. 2nd edition with corrections.

An epic tale of two ordinary individuals thrown into the extraordinary and surreal world of the Gallipoli campaign as soldiers of the First AIF in World War I.

Percy Black and Harry Murray were plain, hardworking Australians whose paths crossed in Western Australia when they enlisted to support country and empire. The powerful narrative paints a complex and thorough picture of the heroism, loyalty, inventiveness, mateship, stoicism and strength of the many individuals, on all sides, caught up in the horror of the ‘war to end all wars’.
