Ross McMullin is an award-winning biographer, a renowned storyteller, and an entertaining speaker.

His lost generation multi-biographies have been widely acclaimed. "Life So Full of Promise" won The Age Book of the Year Award in 2024. It follows "Farewell Dear People", which won the Prime Minister’s Prize for Australian History.

With their families and friends also conspicuous, Life So Full of Promise illuminates what the war was like at home and at the sharp end.
