I Confess

I Confess is an intimate portrayal of command in the crucible of war. Murray commanded the Australian 20th Brigade during the siege of Tobruk. This is a portrait of the relationship he forges with his men through the long days of the siege against a relentless enemy as tempers fray and exhaustion threatens. Written in April 1945 as the war entered its final phase, I Confess is a carefully crafted analysis of leadership under pressure, a very personal reflection on its stresses, its tragedies and its lifelong rewards.
