Format: Paperback

Number of Pages: 336


In "The Spirit of the Digger", Patrick Lindsay takes a penetrating look at Australian soldiers in many conflicts over almost a century to reveal their spirit and essential characteristics, creating a compelling portrait of the Australian Digger through the years. He examines how the Digger has been able to build his remarkable reputation - well out of proportion to his numbers and the length of his history - from Gallipoli through to East Timor and Afghanistan. Told through the Diggers' eyes (as he did in "The Spirit of Kokoda"), Lindsay's book is for all Australians who want to know more about our shared past and how it has shaped our character and future.
