ISBN10: 0522842674, ISBN13: 9780522842678, [publisher: Melbourne University Press] Hardcover First Edition Here is a detailed and dispassionate account of Sir John Monash's development as a military commander before and during World War 1. Forty-nine years old when the war began, Monash was given command of the 4th Infantry Brigade of the AIF. His creative imagination, his attention to minute detail, his unhesitating adoption of the ideas of others, whether British or German, and his willingness to use new technology, made him one of the most effective commanders in a war which is often regarded as the nadir of the art of command. **The book has light tanning and a small stain on the frontispiece. The jacket has light fading at the spine.**
