Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

Dust, Donkeys and Delusion examines and clinically debunks the myth that has grown up around Private John Simpson Kirkpatrick, the so-called `Man with the Donkey', the quintessential Australian `hero' of Gallipoli.

While the various elements of the Simpson myth have now become popularly accepted as `history', Dust, Donkeys and Delusion shows clearly, based on historical documents, both official and unofficial, that almost every word ever spoken or written about Simpson following his death is false.

This book does not criticise Simpson Kirkpatrick himself, recognising that he bears no blame for the nonsensical myth that has grown up around him. (back cover)
