The author 're-examines the controversial role of General 'Thruster' Gough together with a study of Ango-Australian rivalry, shattering the myth of a unified Anzac Command. Using unpublished documents and eye-witness accounts, he confirms the terror rather than the thrill of a battle that must rank as one of the most savage contests of the Great War'.. First Edition.
