2002 Born To Fight: Major Charles J. Ross by Neil G. Speed Military History Book

Born To Fight: Major Charles Jospeh Ross D50 - A Definitive Study Of His Life.
By Neil G. Speed
Published by The Caps & Flints Press: Melbourne 2002 1st Edition

" Born To Fight: Major Charles Joseph Ross D50 is a meticulously researched biographical study of one of Australia's most complex and controversial military figures. Written by Neil G. Speed, the book traces the life of Major Charles Joseph Ross, recipient of the Distinguished Conduct Medal, examining his formative years, military service, personal struggles, and the circumstances that shaped both his bravery and his reputation. Drawing on military records, contemporary accounts, and careful analysis, Speed presents Ross as a deeply human figure—capable of exceptional courage under fire, yet marked by traits and decisions that invite scrutiny and debate.

Rather than offering a simple heroic narrative, this definitive study explores the broader social and military context of Ross's life, shedding light on discipline, leadership, and the realities of service in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The work stands out for its balanced tone, combining respect for Ross's achievements with a clear-eyed assessment of his flaws, making it an important contribution to Australian military biography and historiography. This book would particularly appeal to students of Australian military history, collectors of specialist regimental studies, and readers interested in nuanced, well-documented biographies of decorated yet controversial figures."
