Description

Thesis "Lieutenant General Sir John Lavarack as Military Commander". Examines Lavarack's career as a commander and analyses his performance to determine why he was denied a fighting command after 1942. Contends that Lavarack was not given a fighting command because of Blamey's antipathy towards him, because of his performance as Chief of the General Staff and because of his personality. PhD, The University of New South Wales, 1987.
