A landmark work of Australian biography, this authoritative account chronicles the extraordinary life of General Sir John Monash — engineer, lawyer, and one of the most celebrated military commanders of the First World War. Geoffrey Serle presents a richly detailed portrait of a man who rose from Melbourne's Jewish immigrant community to command the Australian Corps on the Western Front, where his tactical brilliance at battles such as Hamel and the Hundred Days Offensive earned him international renown. Drawing on extensive archival research, Serle illustrates not only Monash's genius for organisation and leadership under fire, but also his complex inner life, his ambitions, and his deep roots in Australian civic society. Winner of the 1982 National Book Council Award for Australian Literature, the biography stands as the definitive record of a man whose legacy continues to shape Australia's national identity and memory of the Great War.
