Publishers Description: "His writing is so vivid that you almost imagine yourself present." (Saul David, Sunday Telegraph, London) "Carlyon has the master journalists ability to analyse and describe... He writes history that is also compelling as story." (Sydney Morning Herald) Winner - Inaugural Prime Ministers Prize for Australian History The Great War is Les Carlyons extraordinary account of the Anzacs on the Western Front from 1916 to 1918. It combines a brilliant overview of this immense conflict with telling detail, stories, letters and diaries that breathe life into those terrible battles of 90 years ago. In The Great War Carlyon has produced a masterpiece that takes the reader from the generals formulating strategy to the troops fighting cold, filth and the terror of sudden death in their trenches. Written with the same narrative skill, humanity, vivid recreation and meticulous research that made Gallipoli a number one bestseller, Les Carlyons astonishing new book is an epic that will stand as the lasting and definitive history of Australias involvement in the Great War.
