Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. "Australia owes Lawson Glassop a big debt for this novel. Historians may record the progress of wars, but they cannot project a picture of the men who fought them. And how much of a country's future tradition exists on the record of its men of action, who supply the material for art, for aspiration, for national pride, for the energy which drives life on into the future. If Australia is destined for a fine future, this book is necessary to its spirit. Our fighting men have made their record of courage and endurance and are making it still, and this book is its affirmation." --- Original grey-beige cloth boards, lettered red on spine (22 cm height). Minor wear to corners, else fine. Pp. xi, 276 (last colophon) with Foreword by Norman Lindsay.
