Shoot Straight, You Bastards!: The Truth behind the Killing of Breaker Morant
by Nick Bleszynski

Description
In much the same way that Bruce Beresford's award-winning feature film Breaker Morant captured the popular imagination, Shoot Straight, You Bastards! is an explosive read - as controversial an event today as it was 100 years ago. Too many people have tried to put a halt to the 'wheel of history' by insisting that all has now been revealed and theirs is the definitive word. But there's always more, as this book will reveal.Tags

Great story. I first learnt about Harry 'Breaker' Morant through the movie, so it was great to finally listen to this book. I learned a lot more about the Boer war and Australia's involvement. It is a very controversal story, even to this day, but I think it is one worth knowing. I will certainly be looking to buy my own copy since I listened to this one borrowed from my library.
If you want to know more about Australia's involvement in the Boer war, specifically about these particular war crimes, it is worth listening to.
The narrators, Peter Bryne and Peter Hoskings do a great job. I believe the majority of the narrations is done by Peter Byrne.
