Publisher Description
An unputdownable account of the courage and bravery under fire of our Australian soldiers on the frontline - from WWII to Afghanistan.
From Gallipoli to Afghanistan, many Australians have been awarded military honours for acts of selfless courage. Others have missed out. Bestselling author Ian McPhedran uncovers new stories of extreme bravery in action from WWII to today, and hears from those on the front line about what courage really means. Some of these stories, including Medals for Gallantry awarded in the face of the enemy in East timor and Afghanistan, are quite extraordinary. this book also explores why some become national heroes and others are overlooked.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Some of our war heroes receive medals and acclaim in their lifetimes, while others remain unknown and unheralded. Author Ian McPhedran focuses on both groups in his compelling account of bravery and valour. With its incredible, spine-tingling accounts of past battles like Gallipoli, as well as modern-day conflicts in Afghanistan and East Timor, this book rights the record in capturing our local soldiers’ finer moments.
Customer Reviews
Exceptional read and reminder of those that keep our country safe
I found the book a great read, informative in its description of Australian soldiers in conflict and for me personally brought to the front the real sacrifices Australian defense personnel give to keep this country great. Thanks to the author for doing justice to their contribution
