About the Author:

Greg Growden is a leading authority on Australian rugby. A senior sports writer for the Sydney Morning Herald for more than three decades, he covered hundreds of Test matches, more than 25 Wallabies tours and every World Cup tournament.

About the Book:

The Wallabies at War includes untold stories from Australian military and sporting history – not just from the battlefield but from POW camps and the Burma railway. This book contains a wealth of human experiences from humour to tragedy, and from the depths of torture, injury and deprivation to achieving stunning post-war sporting comebacks.

This talk is a must for anyone who loves their rugby and military history.

About the Books & Blokes Series:

We began the Books & Blokes series at Joeys in 2012 as part of an initiative to encourage all men at Joeys to read. This breakfast series aims to encourage men both at home and in the college community to share their love of reading with the boys, to talk about and recommend books they have enjoyed and to help spread the message that “It’s OK for Blokes to Read”. We aim to bring in a broad range of inspirational and interesting speakers to share their stories with the “men” at Joeys over a casual and laid back breakfast.
