AlanCurragh Posted 15 May , 2008 Share Posted 15 May , 2008 Having made a start on Les Carlyon's Gallipoli, I would liek to try and get hold of a copy of his subsequent book "The Great War". I've looked at Abebooks and other similar websites and can only find copies in Australia - with very considerable costs for postage. Has anyone ever managed to track it down in the UK?

Chris Best Posted 28 May , 2008 Share Posted 28 May , 2008 Not yet seen on sale in UK but I'm lucky enough to have an Aussie mate who brought a copy over as a gift last year. Great book. I'm a Carlyon fan. I'm sure it'll hit the shops eventually, but I think you'd find it worth the p+p if you got impatient. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinWills Posted 28 May , 2008 Share Posted 28 May , 2008 My copy is first Aussie edition - but bought at a UK bookfair - probably for little more than the postage would cost - it's "big". Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted 28 May , 2008 Share Posted 28 May , 2008 I dipped into the works of Les Carlyon when I was in Oz last year but had no opportunity to read further. What's his approach? Primary or secondary sources, Official Histories or "the man in the street". Hope he's not a "Poms and Haig are to blame for everything merchant!!

Simmo Posted 29 May , 2008 Share Posted 29 May , 2008 Alan - i'm about one third through mine. A nearby discount store should have it and i'll check the postage later today. Might not be as bad as you think - will let you know. Simmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanCurragh Posted 29 May , 2008 Author Share Posted 29 May , 2008 Hi Simmo - thanks for the offer, but I've succumbed and ordered it from Australia. The book was fairly heavily discounted, sadly the postage wasn't! Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
