Gallipoli: last man standing
the extraordinary life of alec Campbell
jonathon king
Gallipoli: Last man Standing is a detailed account of Alec Campbell, the final veteran of Gallipoli to pass away. In detailing the events of his life Jonathon King is also tracing the development of a nation and its attitudes throughout the twentieth century. Alec fought at Gallipoli for a brief time as a sixteen year old. He watched many of his mates fall around him. With their needless passing many of Alec's personal ideals began to totter, unable to explain or come to terms with the mass slaughter of human life. In this way Alec has evolved into a symbol of Australia and the changing of its ideals. He has become the bridge spanning the national psyche from its origin until the twenty-first century
