The definitive biography of Phillip Schuler, one of Australia's most significant battle correspondents, from Gallipoli to his loss of life in Flanders. Phillip Schuler, a handsome young journalist from the Melbourne Get older, covered the Gallipoli plan alongside Charles Bean. His bravery was renowned. His dispatches were evocative and compassionate. He captured the heroism and horror for Australian magazine readers in ways the meticulous yet dried out prose of Bean never could. Gallipoli would also propel Schuler over a collision course along with his former good friend and Get older colleague Keith Murdoch, who made his name lobbying up against the campaign after a brief visit to Anzac. After his traditional bank account of the plan, Australia in Arms, was completed in early 1916, Schuler discontinued the relative safe practices of an correspondent's job and joined the AIF as a humble soldier. In June 1917 he was killed in Flanders. He was 27 years old. Mark Baker's meticulously researched bank account of Schuler's brief but astonishing life provides us a true insight in to the man. As being a correspondent, a lover and a soldier, Schuler kept an indelible symbol on all who came across him. He was a shining light of the era decimated by the battle. Baker's biography provides us a fresh and compelling perspective on the power of journalism and Australia at battle.
