Blamey
$36.99
BlameyFrom Gallipoli to Kokoda and beyond - the story of our greatest general and the power, politics and tragedy of commandGeneral Sir Thomas Blamey, Commander in Chief of Australian Military Forces during World War II, was our highest-ranking soldier and arguably our most controversial.Blamey was an abrasive and shrewd commander, who could act both decisively and brutally, creating enemies within and outside the military. That reputation, encouraged in the years after the war by his rivals, has followed him ever since and, unlike many other military heroes, his contributions to Australia's defence have been downplayed.In this re-evaluation of our most senior military commander, Brent Taylor traces Blamey's career, describing the highs and the lows, and dispassionately applies modern business benchmarks to calculate his success as a leader: how many lives saved? In Taylor's estimation, more than 30,000 Diggers' lives.Without glossing over Blamey's prickly character or the controversial incidents he was involved in, Taylor assesses how Blamey - schooled in battle under John Monash - dealt with the towering political and military leaders of the day, including a domineering US General Douglas MacArthur, a wily British prime minister, an antagonistic Australian government, and a ruthless Japanese command, to lead Australian troops to success while striving to keep them safe.In challenging the popular view of Blamey as a testy, aloof man out of touch with and disloyal to his troops, Taylor declares him a hero who stood up to foreign agendas to get the best outcomes for the Diggers and his country.

Wherever they go, bodies are left behind. Special Agent Marc Donner of the FBI has been tracking a serial killer for the best part of two years. A murderer who kills only men. All of them with their throats opened, their bodies bled out and their spinal cords severed. The killer leaves no trace, no clues – only a trail of corpses. After all this time, Donner has gleaned only a handful of facts from the few witnesses and snippets of CCTV footage available. He’s hunting a middle-aged woman who drives a van with blacked-out windows and false plates. Often, she poses as a child online to lure in her prey. But it’s never been enough to track her down – until now. And so begins a cat-and-mouse game between Donner and his prey, Rebecca and Moonflower. But who is the actual hunter – and who is the actual prey? Perhaps Moonflower isn’t the child that her mother claims she is. Perhaps she’s something else – and as Donner puts everything on the line to capture them, perhaps he isn’t prepared to face what is really out there... Blood Like Mine is the thrilling and terrifying story of a mother’s love, a daughter’s devotion, a man’s obsession – and the darkness that lives within us all.
