Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has some light creasing at edges. Spine tail has a small tear, now protected with book tape. Interior and binding are excellent.

These extraordinary, intimate letters from General Sir John Monash to his wife and daughter record his experiences throughout World War I, from landing at Gallipoli to leading decisive battles on the Western Front.

Monash describes with remarkable candour the challenges of ordering the lives of tens of thousands of troops and meeting with various dignitaries, including King George. Regarded as the best-allied commander of WWI, Monash writes with insight, providing one of the most moving personal accounts ever written of an Australian soldier at war.
