2023-04-18 00:00:00Z | Apr 18, 2023 | Nick Richardson | The Game Of Their Lives | Apr 18, 2023 |
In 1916, two teams of Australian soldiers put on an exhibition match of football in London. Most of them were gifted athletes who had put their football on hold to enlist. Six weeks after the match, the men were on the Western Front, some of them never to return home. This is the story of the footballers who became soldiers, the game they played and the fate they met amid the carnage of World War I. “In 1916 some of the country's finest Australian Rules footballers stepped onto the grounds of Queen's Club, in London, for an exhibition match. They were soldiers, and it was political football. Nick Richardson's engaging and extensively researched study puts the match in context, emphasising the convergence of sport and politics, and the extraordinary pressure put on elite players to enlist – to patriotically forsake the game for the greater game of war.’’ M.C. David Rush |

2023-06-27 00:00:00Z | Jun 27, 2023 | Commodore Peter Scott | Via ZOOM, Running Deep: An Australian Submarine Life | Jun 27, 2023 |
From conducting top-secret missions to making history commanding the farthest deployment of Australian submarine service, Commodore Peter Scott depicts what it takes to be a Submariner. Over a decorated 34-year career, Commodore Scott served in 10 submarines, passed the most demanding military command course in the world and served as the Head of Profession of the Submarine Arm of the Royal Australian Navy. During that time his character was forged by the challenges of naval service, success and failure as a leader, catastrophic onboard disasters while dived, and life-threatening traumas. Along the way, he also endured personal battles with self-doubt, addiction, depression and anxiety. In this honest and enlightening tale, he shares his quest for self-acceptance, and for the courage, commitment and compassion to lead the warriors of Australia’s Silent Service. M.C. TBA Praise For The Book ‘… an absorbing, often searing account of the life of a submariner and a Navy leader. Peter’s story chronicles the modern life of our critical strategic deterrent – the RAN’s submarine arm.’ General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK AC (Mil) CVO MC (Retd) ‘Personal and full of integrity, a great account of the ups and downs of serving Australia as an outstanding submariner.’ Air Chief Marshal Sir Angus Houston AK, AFC (Ret’d) |
