Synopsis
Biography of a professional soldier, who commanded the Australian force in Crete against the Germans in the Second World War, directed the Australian advance from Kokoda, and was in command during the defeat of the Japanese in the Pacific. Analyses his military performance, and also provides insights into his private life, based largely on his letters to his wife. Includes references, a bibliography and an index. The author is a Fellow at the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre, Australian National University. His other publications include 'High Command: Australian and Allied Strategy 1939-1945'. First printed in 1992., Revealing biography of the compassionate man behind the image of 'Bloody George', General George Vasey. To his troops he was 'Bloody George', a hard-bitten professional soldier, technically competent and tactically proficient. His brigade bore the brunt of the fighting in Greece. He commanded the entire Australian force in Crete in the battle against German airborne invaders. He directed the Australian advance from Kokoda and presided over the defeat of the Japanese in the savage battles of the beachheads. But there was more to Major-General George Vasey than his impressive record. Through the existence of a remarkable collection of letters to his wife, Jessie, we have a rare opportunity to get inside the mind of this successful commander. The picture that emerges is one that his closest comrades knew-one of compassion and humanity, a commander who genuinely cared for the well-being of his men. General Vasey's War analyses Vasey's military performance but it also allows us to share Vasey's private thoughts- his frustrations and triumphs, his hopes and cares. Through a unique insight into one man's war we are rewarded with a better understanding of the practice of warfare during those momentous years., To his troops he was 'Bloody George', a hard-bitten professional soldier, technically competent and tactically proficient.

    The seller was very responsive and answered me on a timely matter. The product itself came in its packaging and was new, not used at all. The packaging was not beat up or anything, safely delivered to my mailbox. No mix ups and zero stress with delivery. The price for the product is completely understandable for the product. I really appreciate the seller and I am very happy to have purchased through this seller. Completely trustable!

    Leaving positive feedback because 1) item was packed well & arrived as described 2) seller did give partial refund when subsequent price dropped below org purchase price. 3) communication was quick However, there was a downside to this transaction -item listed as in-stock but ended up waiting nearly a month for them to get it from their distributer then ship it to me (bought June 29th, arrived around July 21). Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustration
