The Crossroad
I was given this book for Fathers Day. My kids asked me what sort of books I liked to read and I said I had read a few auto biographies ( or should that be biographies?) of NRL football players, boxers etc so I asked for something by a politician. My Kids got me The Crossroad by Mark Donaldson, VC.
Excellent reading about a youngish man whose life really could have gone in any direction. It tells you of where he came from, his younger life stories, about losing his father at a young age, and mothers tragic disappearance, life decisions he made and how he ended up in the "Regiment".
He sounded to me like he needed a kick up the back side in his early days, but in spite of all of that, he to me at least had good basic values in standing up for the down trodden while trying to ensure a higher quality life for all.
I am not the analytical type person but I enjoyed this book, my wife is now reading it and I recommend it as good reading.
