A marvelous read. I'm a Yank who's ignorant of Australian history so this biography was both a peek at the essence of that great country as-well-as a rewarding and consuming account of the life of General Sir John Monash.For me, at least, World War I is a difficult subject to address. The carnage and waste are almost overwhelming. However, the sacrifices made then have had a huge impact on the world we now inhabit and illuminate to an obligation to better understand that colossal event.Amazing and edifying is this book's account of John Monash.
His brilliance, challenges, character and humanity are clearly and enthusiastically brought to life by the author. This book is one that I couldn't put down. This is a well-researched and very well-written biography of a great military and public figure. The book takes you to Monash's roots in what is now Poland where his family were rabbis and then begins a marvellous journey to the Australian bush, the emerging city of Melbourne and then the killing fields of Gallipoli and the Western front. Monash is considered one of history's great generals and this book explores the reasons behind his success and the reasons he was so determined to reach the top. It does not hide the flaws in his character either - the ego, the infidelities - but in the end this is the story of a great life very well told.
