Sir James Whiteside McCay

Christopher Wray

In August 1914 James McCay was appointed to command one of the first three brigades of the AIF. By 1918 he had been relegated to a training command in England and was reviled by many who had served under him. This book examines the life of McCay and his relationship with General Monash. It seeks to answer the enigma of James McCay: was he brought down by the failures of others or by his own personality? From the Australian Army History Series Hardcover. Indexed. 280 pages
