| Summary |
"Prisoner of two wars is the extraordinary story of the only Australian to be a prisoner of war in both world wars. The authors embark on a journey to uncover the life and times of a man they barely knew - their father, Jack Probert, a knockabout, everyday Australian. In so doing, they reveal a dramatic tale of high adventure, perseverance, courage and ultimate tragedy. Spanning four decades, this is a compelling sage of a very ordinary man whose destiny and fate is shaped by extraordinary circumstances." -- Blackwells |
