Bill the Bastard: The story of Australia's greatest war horse

摘要

Roland Perry has written twenty-six books including the popular The Changi Brown-low and the well-received The Australian Light Horse but this book is a departure from his usual fare. Using a nov-elistic style, he tells the story of Bill the Bastard, a massive and powerful Waler that no one could ride except one man - Major Michael Shanahan, a bush rider more at home on a horse than on foot. In one engagement with the Turks, Bill's heroic efforts and exceptional instincts saved the lives of Shanahan and four of his men.
