Far Above Battle

The Experiences and Memories of Australian Soldiers in War

 

Margaret Barter

 

Far Above Battle is ultimately about human reactions to the realities, fears and dangers of frontline experience, a theme that few other books dare to confront. Through letters, diaries and veteran interviews, the battlefield is brought to life with rare and profound clarity . In vivid detail the soldiers reveal their feelings of courage, fear, isolation, fatigue and grief for the things seen and done in battle.

Far Above Battle does for our understanding of World War II what Bill Gammage did for World War I in The Broken Years.
