John Monash: A biography

---

This book exemplifies biography in its fullest sense. Sir John Monash was one of Australia's greatest men and probably the greatest of its soldiers, but this book is much more than a military study. Monash was a graduate of the University of Melbourne in three Faculties - Arts, Law and Engineering; he was a man of wide-ranging intellect, especially devoted to literature, music, theatre, languages and Jewish scholarship. He first achieved wide fame as a soldier - a citizen-soldier. His baptism of fire occurred on Gallipoli, and he was almost the only senior Allied general to emerge in 1918 from the agony of the Western Front with his reputation virtually unspotted. A Jew, he spent his energies lavishly on the public affairs of his native Australia, his immense prestige at the service of many great causes. He was a pioneer of reinforced concrete construction in Australia and as first Chairman of the State Electricity Commission of Victoria found fulfilment in harnessing Gippsland's huge brown coal deposits.
