Anzac is essential reading for anyone interested in one of the most legendary fighting forces of the twentieth century.
About the Book
From the battlefields of the Boer War to the jungles of Vietnam, the Anzacs forged a reputation as one of the most formidable fighting forces in modern history.
Fighting with courage, resolve and daring, they established a tradition of unparalleled battlefield effectiveness.
John Vader charts the story of these soldiers from Australia and New Zealand, whose actions helped shape the course of twentieth-century warfare time and again.
Generation after generation of Antipodeans fought across the globe, earning a reputation as elite scouts and formidable advance troops, storming machine-gun emplacements and enemy lines. Their independence and initiative meant they could fight as effectively without officers as with them.
Drawing on a wealth of regimental histories, as well as the memoirs of Anzacs themselves, Vader reconstructs their experiences in campaigns from Gallipoli and Crete to Tobruk, El Alamein and the islands of the South-West Pacific.
