Hard JackaMichael Lawriwsky Michael Lawrisky's insightful Hard Jacka breathes life into the real man behind the legend - 'Jacka' to his superiors. 'Bert' to his mates, 'our Albert' to his proud mother. His acts of selfless heroism at Gallipoli would win him a VC, and his bravery in the battlefields of France would win him the unswerving loyalty of his mates. Hard Jacka is a rich and fascinating story about Albert Jacka and the Great War, its heroes and anti-heroes, their sacrifice, determination and larrikin humour. It's a compelling tale about the deep bonds that life in the trenches developed between men - the quintessential Aussie mateship.
