A gripping work of military history, Palestine Diaries chronicles the extraordinary WWI campaign of the Australian Light Horse through the Middle East, told in the soldiers' own words. Jonathan King draws on first-hand diaries and personal accounts to reconstruct each pivotal battle across the deserts of Sinai and Palestine, from Gaza to the legendary charge at Beersheba. The result is an intimate and visceral portrait of courage, hardship, and camaraderie that cuts through the fog of official history to reveal the human experience of war. Rich with primary sources, the narrative presents a battle-by-battle account that honours the voices of the men who lived — and died — in one of history's most dramatic cavalry campaigns.
