Soldiers and Gentlemen: Australian Battalion Commanders in the
Great War, 1914-1918 is the first book to examine the background,
role and conduct of Australian commanding officers during the First
World War. Though they held positions of power, commanding officers
inhabited a leadership no man's land - they exerted great influence
over their units, but they were also largely excluded from the
decision-making process and faced the same risks as junior officers
on the battlefield. A soldier's well-being and success in battle
was heavily dependent on a commanding officer's competence, but
little is known about the men who filled these roles. In his
groundbreaking book, William Westerman explores the stories of the
vitally important, yet often forgotten, commanding officers. Theirs
is a story of the timeless challenges of military leadership, and
this book prevents them from slipping from the public memory to
enhance our knowledge of the conflict.
