Pozières: The Anzac Story
By Scott Bennett
A gripping and deeply human account of one of the most devastating battles of the Great War.
Told through the voices of soldiers, commanders, and loved ones left behind, this meticulously researched book brings to life the horror, heroism, and heartbreak of the Anzacs at Pozières in 1916.
Scott Bennett weaves together personal letters, diaries, and official records to reveal not just the military strategy, but the emotional toll of a battle that shaped Australia’s wartime identity.
“This is more than history — it’s storytelling at its finest.”
Night in Passchendaele By Scott Bennett
One bloody night. One lone survivor. One chance of redemption.
Night in Passchendaele is a cautionary tale about the search for belonging after the trauma of war, and the extraordinary lengths people go to find redemption in the aftermath .
Set in France in 1919, one year after the guns fell silent on the Western Front, Lieutenant Wilfred Rhodes receives a final classified mission: to end the command of Captain Charles Kingsley, the unhinged leader of a Graves Recovery Unit. Still haunted by the loss of his platoon at Passchendaele, Rhodes joins the team tasked with exhuming Australian soldiers. As the peaceful French countryside works its slow healing, he uncovers a secret behind that fateful night and must face the tension between following orders and seeking personal redemption.
“A must‑read for anyone who likes their historical fiction as well‑researched as it is compelling.” — Sophie, Better Reading

The Nameless Names - Recovering the Missing ANZAC’s By Scott Bennett
More than 20,000 ANZACs who died in the Great War are still listed as missing - their names carved into memorials, but their stories untold.
In The Nameless Names, Scott Bennett brings these lost soldiers back into view, tracing the lives and fates of three Australian families — the Reids, the Pflaums, and the Allens — whose sons vanished at Gallipoli, Fromelles, and Ypres. Through powerful storytelling and original research, this book reveals not only how and why these men disappeared but also the lifelong impact on those left behind.
“This admirable book, superbly researched and insightfully written...” — Ross McMullin
“Bennett’s book reminds us that these men may still be missing, but they are not forgotten.” — Frances Whiting
