Right Man for the Right Job, The: Lieutenant General Sir Stanley Savige As a Military Commander

AUSTRALIAN MILITARY
Stan Savige, the founding member of the Legacy movement, became the Australian Army’s most experienced and senior citizen soldier during the Second World War. He commanded troops in North Africa, Greece, Syria, New Guinea, and Bougainville but despite the unmatched record he remains a little known figure. This book reexamines his performance as a senior commander during those testing campaigns.
