    Inspiring and unputdownable, Too Bold to Die shows what ittakes to win a Medal or Gallantry and why so many o ourmilitary heroes remain unknown.

    Inspired by the Mongols and their nomadic descendants,solo adventurer Tim Cope embarks on a gruelling horsebackjourney across 6000 miles o Eurasian steppe rom Mongoliato Hungary. Accompanied only by his dog, he ends owolves and horse-thieves, endures extremes o temperatureand experiences incredible hospitality during his three-year trek.

    His account o the war is a treasure by turns horriying,illuminating, unny, touching and terribly sad. Readable,spirited and humming with lie, his voice and indomitablepersonality shine through.

    Bill the Bastardis the stirring true story o the bond betweena determined trooper and his stoic but cantankerous mount.Bill was a seventeen hand, 730-kilogram chestnut Waler

    with power, intelligence and unmatched courage. He stoodabove all the other Australian horses sent to the Middle East,but only one man could ride him Major Michael Shanahan.Serving with bravery and valour at Gallipoli, Bill became alegend in the Light Horse and a s ymbol o the courage o theAnzac mounted orce. Perect or horse lovers and Great Warenthusiasts alike, this is his story.
