In Australian Battalion Commanders in the Second World War, Garth
Pratten explores, for the first time, the background, role and
conduct of the commanding officers of Australian infantry
battalions in World War II. Despite their vital role as the
lynchpins of the battlefield, uniting the senior officers with the
soldiers who fought, the battalion commanders have previously
received scant attention in contemporary military history. This
book redresses the balance, providing a gripping, meticulously
researched and insightful account that charts the development of
Australia's infantry commanding officers from part-time,
ill-prepared, amateurs to seasoned veterans who, although still not
professional soldiers, deserved the title of professional men of
war. Drawing on extensive and original archival material, Pratten
recreates battle scenes and brings to light many diverse
personalities. It is a story of men confronting the timeless
challenges of military leadership - mastering their own fear and
discomfort - in order to motivate and inspire their troops to
endure the maelstrom of war.
