About This Item
Scoresby, VIC, Australia: Random House Australia, 2006. New book, 289 pages. Peter Cosgrove's leadership of the peacekeeping force in East Timor saw him become the face of the Australian digger and our best loved and most highly respected general since World War II. 'Cos' as he is familiarly known, was born to wear khaki. He followed his father and grandfather into the army, and as a gung-ho twenty two year old soldier, won the Military Cross for bravery under fire in Vietnam during an assault on enemy positions. It was the start of a fascinating odyssey from cocky lieutenant to revered commander-in-chief. This is the untold and long-awaited story of the man under the slouch hat. Acclaimed author Patrick Lindsay looks at the real Cos - the soldier, the diplomat and the man - through the eyes of those whose lives he touched, and reveals his journey ot the top as the cheif of Australia's Defence Forces in one of the most turbulent periods in our history.. Soft Cover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
