Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges, with bending to right tail front cover and left top back cover corners. Price sticker remnant on top front cover. Foxing mark on right foredge. Interior and binding are still very good.

A raw, fresh and utterly authentic portrait of Australians fighting and living on Gallipoli, the Western Front and life behind the lines in the UK, France, Belgium and Egypt.

We think we know about the Anzacs, who they were, and what they endured amidst the horror of World War I. But do we? Have they told us their own stories?

In the Mitchell Library in Sydney is a unique collection of their diaries, nearly a thousand of them. Some were written by those who came back, and some by those who didn t make it ... From Gallipoli to the Western Front, from the mud and blood of Flanders to the brothels of Cairo, Michael Caulfield weaves these stories together in an unforgettable portrait of a young country at war.

This is the Anzac story as you've never read it before: graphic, emotional and inspiring. The Unknown Anzacs is a legacy to be proud of, a book for all Australians.
