BLAME ME
A Novel of Australian generals Blamey and Lavarack
Sir Thomas Blamey was Australia’s first and only Field Marshal, but in WWII, he was called a coward and would never
be forgiven for calling his men the same.
Throughout his exceptional career and both World Wars, Blamey would cause controversy in so many ways – from brothels to battlefields, from his questionable performance as Police Commissioner, to playing his part in politics.
Nothing held Blamey back in his relentless climb to the top, yet despite going head-to-head and winning out against the likes of Winston Churchill, Robert Menzies and Douglas MacArthur, there was one man who forever stood in his way – Australia’s General John Lavarack, who with a brilliance that rivalled Blamey’s own, had to be held back at all costs.
This is the story of their lives and not-so-private war.
