"Over five days in June 2010, in southern Afghanistan, 150 Australian Commandos and SAS soldiers fought and won the Battle of Shah Wali Kot, our largest engagement since Vietnam. Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith, for his part in the battle, received our nation's highest military honour - the Victoria Cross. He became an instant household name. The bravery and heroism of the 2nd Commando Regiment remained in shadow. For the Commandos, the battle was won through grit, courage and professionalism. Within the SAS, disputes over recognition and what really happened ran deep, eventually leading to fellow senior soldiers to allege Roberts-Smith was a war criminal. The Last Battle is the thrilling true tale of that fateful fight in Shah Wali Kot. It renders in compelling detail the personal stories of the Commandos and SAS members involved, the conflict between our two Special Forces regiments, and the aftermath that both forged and destroyed our country's once most lauded hero."
