Morshead : Victor at Tobruk and El Alamein

Lieutenant-General Sir Leslie Morshead was arguably Australia's greatest soldier after Blamey.

Drawing on previously inaccessible private records and recent scholarship, Dr Coombes gives a candid account of the Australian Army's field commander, and offers reasons why Morshead's career embodied qualities quintessential to the Australian military tradition: the tradition of the "civilian in uniform" or citizen soldier. This book is intended for general readers of military history titles, especially works in this series.
