Talking Aussie Books with Steve Matthews
Manage episode 381036905 series 2446858
Steve Matthews is the author of the bestselling Hitler trilogy: Hitler’s Brothel, Hitler’s Assassins and Hitler’s Resurrection.
Each of these books are based on true events - constructing unique narratives and perspective around the horrific deeds and atrocities committed by the Nazi regime in World War II.
It was following the publication of Hitler’s Brothel that I first became acquainted with Steve’s fascinating work.
This year, Steve is celebrating the publication of a new novel. A move away from the events of World War II, going back in time to examine the sacrifices, heroism and courage displayed by many who fought in the Great War. And one man in particular - Private Ted Watts.
Filled with Steve’s trademark wit and incredible attention to detail ‘Ted Watts’ Diary’ (Big Sky Publishing) is a poignant examination of one man’s remarkable courage, determination and will to survive - despite the overwhelming obstacles he faced. Not only as a soldier, but as a man.
Brilliantly researched, colourful and at times confronting, this is a book that doesn’t shy away from the awful toll of war, but which still remains hopeful.
A terrific read.
I was delighted to welcome Steve back to the podcast recently .
