Описание книги

Yet another great read from Garry Willmott. Small Farm Warriors is filled with lives and stories of men who contributed, in a special way, to the Australia we all know today. From the war-torn streets of France to emus in the Outback, from Kokoda to sheep farms – Garry tells us how these fellas fought and then worked to create a life for themselves and their new families. In some cases, this appears not to have worked so well and in others … well, where would we be without their efforts on the land? I enjoyed this book and I learnt stuff I didn't know. Thanks, Garry. – Guy Walton, Singer-Songwriter For those with an interest in Australian Military History, this book not only draws one's interest to the life in the trenches of WW1 and to their sons in WW2 that occurred twenty years later but also the 'larrikinism' of the Aussie digger abroad during these periods in history. This book held my interest for its full length with just the right amount of all the emotions depicted. The ups and downs of the men both when serving and on their return to Australia. A well researched and written book which does not disguise the author's interest in the Soldier Settlers of Australia and Commonwealth countries. Definitely a good read. – G & F Threlfall
