Private Wars: Personal Records of the Anzacs in the Great War
Greg Kerr retraces the journey of Australian and New Zealand troops from Gallipoli in 1915 to the final penetration of the Hindenburg Line in 1918. While covering the general strategic course of the war, the author focuses on the human side of the war. Similar to his acclaimed Lost The
Story of Two Brothers , Kerr follows the experiences of roughly sixty figures--officers, privates, nurses--and captures their experiences through judicious and uncensored extracts from their letters and diaries. The book also includes numerous photos, many previously unpublished. The combination of
photos, letters, and historical background make for an unforgettable account of what the war was really like on the ground.
