Weary EBURY, SUE
Australia Melbourne University Press 2009 0522856969 / 9780522856965 Hardback
both book & dust jacket are in like new condition posted from Australia fast delivery 100 b&w images Sir Ernest Edward Weary Dunlop was the type of rare individual who inspires others to impossible feats by example. Born and raised in Victoria, Australia, he qualified as a pharmacist and surgeon. When World War II broke out, he was appointed a surgeon to the Emergency Medical Unit, spending time in Greece and Africa before he was transferred to Java. As commanding officer and surgeon in the POW camps of the Japanese, he became a legend to thousands of Allied prisoners whose lives were saved with meagre medical supplies. In those camps, at great personal risk, he recorded the deprivation and despair of the men under his command. When Weary's secret war diaries were published in 1986, they became a bestseller overnight. Sue Ebury's biography, written with his total cooperation, was released in 1994, ten months after he died. New information and time to consider the impact of Weary's life on Australian society, in schools, institutions and homes across the nation, have showed a need for this new, illustrated edition.
