Event: 'Blamey At War’ – A Military History Presentation
Wednesday 10 November 2021 1900-2000hrs (AEST) – A Zoom Presentation
Given COVID restrictions, this presentation will occur online via Zoom.
In this in-depth presentation, speaker Brent Taylor describes a consummate military leader at the top of his game fighting for his country in a time of deep crisis.
General Blamey is a controversial figure in Australian military history. ‘Never trust foreign generals with the Diggers’ was Blamey’s cast iron rule, which he learnt the hard way on the killing fields of World War I.
This presentation is part of the Military History Speakers Program – a series of insightful and in-depth military history presentations by noted speakers supported by Military History and Heritage Victoria (mhhv.org.au).
In addition to writing two biographical leadership books, speaker Brent Taylor has had over 25 years professional experience in understanding and describing leadership to senior management. Included in that experience was four years as research director for KPMG during which time he applied many analyses similar to those applied to Blamey’s record.
