Join bestselling author and journalist Peter FitzSimons live at Broadbeach Library as he shares his latest book and the extraordinary story behind one of Australia’s greatest wartime heroes.
Edward “Weary” Dunlop was a young surgeon whose courage and compassion became legendary during World War II. From standing in front of Japanese bayonets to protect his patients, to risking his own life on the brutal Thai-Burma Railway, Weary’s leadership and ingenuity saved countless fellow prisoners-of-war. A boxer, Wallaby and doctor, his name is now synonymous with resilience and humanity.
Don’t miss this chance to hear FitzSimons discuss how he brought this remarkable true story to life.
