Shoot Straight, You Bastards!: The Truth Behind the Killing of ‘Breaker’ Morant by Nick Bleszynski

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners. Minor marks on right foredge.

A fascinating insight into Breaker Morant and the question of morality and human life.

The question of "The Breaker's" innocence is still fiercely debated more than a century after Lieutenant Harry Morant and Lieutenant Peter Handcock were shot on a lonely veldt outside Pretoria at dawn on 27 February, 1902, by a British military firing squad.

Shoot Straight, You Bastards! is a universal account of greed, ambition and the power of the political machine that crushes anyone who gets in the way. In every war, there is a character like Morant - a rebellious spirit who ends up on the wrong side of the "great cause".
