WAR. CALAMITY. COURAGE. DESTINY

The true story of the Anzac who saved the Assyrian people from genocide at the end of the Great War.

The epic true story of the Anzac who saved the Assyrians from genocide during a hell raising secret mission in 1918.

"After you read this book, you will understand why it is no exaggeration that military historians would struggle to name another soldier at any point in time who achieved what Captain Stanley Savige did when he rescued the Assyrian people from atrocity. It is truly an unparalleled episode in modern history.

Savige returned to Australia after the Great War to lead a life of peerless philanthropic and military achievement. For the Assyrians, however, the plight for survival continued during Saddam Hussein’s regime up to the recent, heinous crimes of the Islamic State.

Today, the debt of honour owed to General Sir Savige has yet to be acknowledged properly in his own country and the debt of honour owed to our smallest ally can never be repaid in full."
