Book Description

Secondhand. Near fine condition. Large format paperback.

Stan Bisset was a real hero, both in battle, on the rugby pitch and in desperate armed combat against the Japanese during the Second World War.

He was a rugby legend as a member of the ill-fated 1939 Wallaby touring team to England. In the Middle East and on the Kokoda Track, he was one of Australia's most distinguished and heroic combatants. But above all else, he personified so many attributes of the Australian soldier: moral and physical courage, compassion, selflessness, independence, loyalty, resourcefulness, devotion and humour.

Former Australian soldier and Afghanistan veteran Andrew James tells Stan Bisset's remarkable life story. This is a truly inspiring book that crosses generations. (back cover)
