Wars Hawker is the definitive biography of Chester Wilmot, Australia's most celebrated war correspondent. Wilmot's extraordinary life and career spanned some of the most tumultuous events of the 20th century, from the outbreak of World War II to the Vietnam War.

As a war correspondent, Wilmot witnessed firsthand the horrors of combat and the human cost of war. His dispatches from the front lines were often the first accounts of major battles to reach the public, and his insights into the nature of war helped to shape public opinion.

Wilmot was also a gifted writer and storyteller. His books, including The Struggle for Europe and The Battle for Tobruk, are considered classics of war literature. He was also a pioneer of television journalism, and his documentaries on the Korean and Vietnam Wars helped to bring the realities of war into living rooms around the world.

Wars Hawker is a gripping and insightful account of Wilmot's life and work. Damien Fenton, a former war correspondent himself, has drawn on extensive research and interviews with Wilmot's family, friends, and colleagues to create a vivid and authoritative portrait of one of Australia's most important historical figures.

Wars Hawker is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of war journalism, the nature of war, or the life of one of Australia's most extraordinary citizens.
