Book Description
Secondhand. Good condition. The inside cover has an insect stain and the half-title page has a pencil scribble that won't erase. Only minor wear to book corners and edges.
On 31 October 1917, the Australian Light Horse Brigade stormed Turkish defences to seize the strategically located town of Beersheba (now part of Israel). The Charge is considered one of the greatest battles in Australian military history as the fall of Beersheba opened the way for an Allied advance into the Middle East and, within months enabled the capture of Jerusalem. David Cameron uses first-hand accounts to piece together how the battle unfolded.
