Other than in the haunted memories of those who fought there, and the families of those who died there, this battle is a footnote in the history books: a backwater off a side road at the end of a cul-de-sac on the battlefield tour trail. \u003cb\u003e \u003ci\u003eGuts Glory and Blunder\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e reaches into the valley beneath the vaunted Hindenburg Line to draw out the men who fought and died seizing the French village of Noreuil in 1917. It finds hardened Anzacs and raw reinforcements fighting and dying shoulder-to-shoulder, step by bloody step, on the path to victory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeginning on Gallipoli’s fatal shore, \u003cb\u003e \u003ci\u003eGuts Glory and Blunder\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e follows the Anzacs to the Somme trenches and the race to the Hindenburg Line. This is a story of the 50th Battalion’s uncommon valour in its fiercest battle. How ordinary men performed superhuman feats despite a flawed plan, ‘friendly’ fire, enemy atrocities—a POW massacre and human shield tactics—and a combat mutiny. How a larrikin private was awarded a Victoria Cross for one of the most audacious stunts in the history of the medal. \u003cb\u003e \u003ci\u003eGuts Glory and Blunder\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e is a story of how the diggers prevailed against all odds.","brand":"Big Sky Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53903374942550,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/andrew-faulkner-guts-glory-and-blunder-9781923144132","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
