AUSTRALIAN MILITARY HISTORY

Dust, Donkeys and Delusion examines and clinically debunks the myth that has grown up around Private John Simpson Kirkpatrick, the so-called ‘Man with the Donkey’, the quintessential Australian hero’ of Gallipoli. While the various elements of the Simpson myth have now become popularly accepted as ‘history’, Dust, Donkeys and Delusion shows clearly, based on historical documents, both official and unofficial, that almost every word ever spoken or written about Simpson following his death is false. Dust, Donkeys and Delusion does not criticize John Simpson Kirkpatrick himself, recognising that he bears no blame for the nonsensical myths that have grown up around him.
