Reseña del libro "Uncommon Soldier: Brave, Compassionate and Tough, the Making of Australia's Modern Diggers (en Inglés)"
Groundbreaking and revealing expose on the modern Australian soldier from the country's foremost investigative journalistJournalist Chris Masters looks at the rich and illuminating present to write a character study of the modern Australian soldier--war fighter, peacekeeper, street-level diplomat, and aid worker. Having been taken into their ranks in a way rarely before afforded an outsider, Masters gives heart and shape to the contemporary digger: how they are selected, how they are led, and how they are transformed from civilians to disciplined professional soldiers. And in asking if they are unique, he examines what it is that allows these young Australians to lend moral authority to communities teetering on the precipice of violence in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan. By sharing the experiences of the young men and women who make up the Australian army, Masters puts under severe challenge the notion that soldiering is the province of dumb grunts. In doing so, he argues that the best measure of this country's military legend is found in the present. Uncommon Soldier is a rare and powerful work.
