The Ballad of Les Darcy by Peter FitzSimons

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page.

Put great Australian boxer Les Darcy in a uniform, and the men of Australia will march to hell behind him.

This was the message the Australian Government wanted to use as the conscription debate raged in during WWI. The problem was that Les Darcy didn't want to march to war.

Torn between the duty he felt he owed his family and the responsibility many thought he owed his country, Les made his choice and faced the consequences.
