The Charge: The Australian Light Horse Victory at Beersheba by David W Cameron

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges, with some water damage to tail back cover and last few pages. All pages are separated and is still a very readable copy.

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.
