Book Launch – I’ll Walk Beside You by Peter Mitchell

The Royal Historical Society Victoria invites you to the launch of “I’ll Walk Beside You!” with author Peter Mitchell, and Professor Joan Beaumont, internationally recognised historian of Australia in the two world wars.

I’ll Walk Beside You by Peter Mitchell is a continuation of the acclaimed Under the Same Moon (2025). A vivid portrait of the most desperate chapter in our nation’s history, I’ll Walk Beside You has been written from never seen before, letters, diaries and oral histories and weaves a story of soldiers against a parallel story of love between real life couple Jean and Cal.
Told through the perspective of ordinary men drawn into the heart of war, I’ll Walk Beside You is an ode to heroism, the unyielding human spirit, and enduring resilience that shaped Australia’s military history.
