HarperCollins, Australia, Date: 2006. Softcover. Good Condition. In these highly anticipated memoirs, the former Australian of the Year will look back over his respected and decorated military career and his personal life with wit and warmth on top of the steel which made him one of Australia's most popular and widely recognised military leaders. When Cosgrove won the Military Cross in Vietnam, the citation listed his ''determination, initiative, courage and inspiration''. These qualities were evident throughout his subsequent career, as he rose steadily through the army hierarchy and quickly earned a reputation as one of his country's most respected soldiers. Perhaps the greatest challenge of his career came in 1999, when he was given command of a multinational force to restore peace and security in East Timor. Upon his return to Australia in 2000, he was appointed Chief of the Army and, in 2002, Chief of the Defence Force, a position he held until July 2005. 468 pages. Foxing to outer page edges.

'this book is my personal story, from boyhood to battlefield and beyond, written in my own words, reflecting on my life.' In 1999, General Peter Cosgrove was thrust into the full glare of the nation's spotlight following his appointment as Commander of the International Forces in East timor (INtERFEt). Always in his slouch hat, he was a reassuring figure and we watched with pride the professionalism and concern of our peacekeeping forces who under his direction helped lay the foundations of a new nation. In his subsequent rise to Chief of the Army and then, in July 2002, to Chief of the Defence Force, the General cemented his reputation as a modern-day warrior chieftain as he displayed those characteristics we value most as Australians - strength, determination, intelligence, compassion and humour. In these memoirs, Peter Cosgrove writes colourfully of his early years and the influences that shaped him before deciding on a military career. We follow him from raw recruit at Duntroon to early duty in Malaysia and then Vietnam, where he won the Military Cross, through to major events in recent times, including 9/11, ...

Through his straightforward approach to a tense situation, General Cosgrove instilled confidence. In his rise to Chief of the Army and then, to the top job as Chief of the Defence Force, the General cemented a reputation as a modern day Australian hero, a strong leader – and an all-round good bloke. My Story, written by the man himself, is packed with humorous anecdotes which counter the more serious detail of the General’s role in the military through to his retirement in July 2005. He writes colourfully of his early years and we follow him from raw recruit to Vietnam. The book also gives insights into major recent events: 9/11, the Tampa Crisis, the liberation of East Timor and Iraq. General Cosgrove is not a man who flinches from telling it how it was.
