Sir Edward 'Weary' Dunlop was a hero to many people. He lived his life to the full and in the service of others. In this fascinating work, Margaret Geddes has interviewed many of Weary's friends, colleagues and family to bring together their insight and understanding of this great Australian. The result is an inspiring book of recollections and photographs, through which an exceptional life story is told, and an important contribution to Australian history is made.
