Until 1965, when Lord De L'Isle retired, almost all who held the post were British aristocrats; among them three viscounts, two earls and a prince. They had butlers and chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royces. There's still a Roller in the Government House garage - a 1970 Phantom VI - but Cosgrove is conveyed to most of his appointments in a Holden Caprice, with the vice-regal flag fluttering from the bonnet. Cosgrove burst into the national consciousness in 1999, when he led a successful mission to restore peace to East Timor during its transition to independence from Indonesia. On television, he came across as a new kind of military man. Genial. Straight-talking. Easy to like. He was promoted to chief of army, then to head of the entire defence force, succeeding Chris Barrie, who describes him to me as "an uncomplicated sort of person ... a do-er, rather than a thinker". Barrie says: "He is not an intellect. You'll never have an intellectual conversation with Peter." But the retired admiral points out that Cosgrove has other gifts. "His emotional intelligence is acutely wired. His ability to get on with people in all walks of life is just terrific." Find out why Peter was voted one of the most admired leaders in distant and recent memory. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.

HarperCollins, Australia, 2006. Softcover. Good Condition. In these highly anticipated memoirs, the former Australian of the Year will look back over his respected and decorated military career and his personal life with wit and warmth on top of the steel which made him one of Australia's most popular and widely recognised military leaders. When Cosgrove won the Military Cross in Vietnam, the citation listed his ''determination, initiative, courage and inspiration''. These qualities were evident throughout his subsequent career, as he rose steadily through the army hierarchy and quickly earned a reputation as one of his country's most respected soldiers. Perhaps the greatest challenge of his career came in 1999, when he was given command of a multinational force to restore peace and security in East Timor. Upon his return to Australia in 2000, he was appointed Chief of the Army and, in 2002, Chief of the Defence Force, a position he held until July 2005. 468 pages. Foxing to outer page edges. Illustrated. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos. Category: Autobiography; Biography & Autobiography; Military. ISBN: 0732283841. ISBN/EAN: 9780732283841.
