Peter FitzSimons - The Legend of Albert Jacka
Thursday 5 December 2024 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM (UTC+11)
Our heroes can come from the most ordinary of places. As a shy lad growing up in country Victoria, no one in the district had any idea the man Albert Jacka would become.
The Legend of Albert Jacka is an unforgettable story of the bravery & sacrifice of one extraordinary soldier that takes us from the shores of Gallipoli to the battlefields of France, all brought to vivid life by one of this country's leading storytellers, Peter FitzSimons.
Peter FitzSimons AM is Australia's bestselling non-fiction writer, and for the past 38 years has also been a journalist and columnist with the Sydney Morning Herald & the Sun-Herald.
He is the author of a number of successful books, including Breaker Morant, Burke and Wills, Monash's Masterpiece, Kokoda, Ned Kelly & Gallipoli, as well as biographies of such notable Australians as Sir Douglas Mawson, Nancy Wake and John Eales. His passion is to tell Australian stories, our own stories: of great men and women, of stirring events in our history.
