Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Stunning trade paperback edition of Grantlee Kieza's bestselling biography of Australia's greatest general It's December 1918 and the world war is over. General Sir John Monash attends a glittering banquet to dine with the King of England and the likes of Woodrow Wilson, Winston Churchill and Rudyard Kipling. Just four months earlier, the commander of the Australian Corps had been knighted in a battlefield, a long way from the streets of Melbourne where this son of a long line of Polish rabbis had grown up. Field Marshal Montgomery would declare decades later that Monash was the best general to serve on the Western Front. How had this notorious ladies' man, who harboured private thoughts about the futility of war and had never fired a shot in anger, come to be feted by the British establishment as well as his countrymen back home? In this essential biography of a most unlikely folk hero, Grantlee Kieza paints a lively portrait of an outsider who shaped modern Australia through his energy, drive and ambition, his military brilliance and his vision.PRAISE FOR GRANTLEE KIEZA OAM'Engagingly written . one of the most nuanced portraits to date' -- The Australian'Vivid, detailed and well written' -- Daily Telegraph'A staggering accomplishment that can't be missed by history buffs and story lovers alike' -- Betterreading.com.au'A free-flowing biography of a great Australian figure' --- John Howard'Clear and accessible . well-crafted and extensively documented' -- Weekend Australian'Kieza has added hugely to the depth of knowledge about our greatest military general in a book that is timely' Tim Fischer, Courier-Mail'The author writes with the immediacy of a fine documentary . an easy, informative read, bringing historic personalities to life' -- Ballarat Courier Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
