Lieutenant General Sir Frank Berryman is one of the most important,
yet relatively unknown officers in the history of the Australian
Army. Despite his reputedly caustic personality and noted conflicts
with some senior officers, Berryman was crucial to Australia's
success during the Second World War. But did the man known as
'Berry the Bastard' deserve his reputation? Bold, calculating and
talented, Berryman was at the forefront of operations that led to
the defeat of the Japanese, and his operational planning secured
Australia's victories at Bardia, Tobruk and in New Guinea during
the Pacific War. With access to rare private papers, Peter Dean
charts Berryman's special relationships with senior US and
Australian officers such as MacArthur, Chamberlin, Blamey, Lavarack
and Morshead, and explains why the man poised to become the next
Chief of General Staff would never fulfil his ambition.
