    No Better Death
    The Great War Diaries and Letters of William G. Malone
    Perhaps the greatest leader of men during the Gallipoli campaign, Lieutenant - Colonel W. G. Malone was commanding officer of the Wellington Battalion of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force at Gallipoli. He is probably the best - known individual from that ill - fated campaign, a result both of his humanity and his superb leadership, which culminated in the successful assault on Chunuk Bair on 8 August 1915. Malone was killed later that day.<br/>No Better Death reproduces Malone's impressive and often moving correspondence and writings, as well as many striking photographs generously provided by Malone's descendants. Malone was a gifted writer and a keen observer, and his letters reveal a shrewd military intelligence and genuine care for his men. Above all, this is a story of valour and fortitude under the enormous pressure of being responsible for the lives of many others. It is also the story of a man who had an unbounded love for his family, and constantly drew on the reciprocity of that love to pull through and overcome the frustrations, fear and life - threatening situations he was forced to endure. Malone's descendants have subsequently served their country with honour, and their stories are also recorded in the book.
