Description:
The Dam Busters, The Great Escape and Reach for the Sky were all written by Paul Brickhill, an Australian hero of WWII. 2016 marks the 100th anniversary of his birth and the 25th anniversary of his death.
It was 1956 and the writer from Sydney's lower North Shore had every reason to feel blessed. Former journalist Paul Brickhill was the highest-earning author in the UK and two of his bestselling books - The Dam Busters and Reach for the Sky - had recently been made into blockbuster films. Another of his books - inspired by his experiences as a prisoner of war in Stalag Luft 3 in Germany during the Second World War - was attracting Hollywood interest. That book was The Great Escape.
Yet, life for the enigmatic Brickhill was never simple. He was beset with mental-health issues and his marriage to model Margot Slater was tempestuous. He struggled with alcohol and writer's block too, as his success - and all that accompanied it - threatened to overwhelm him.
In The Hero Maker, award-winning historical author and biographer Stephen Dando-Collins exposes the contradictions of one of Australia's most successful, but troubled, writers. Brickhill's extraordinary story - from the youth with a debilitating stutter to Sydney Sun journalist to Spitfire pilot and POW to feted author - explodes vividly to life on the centenary of his birth.

Best money ever spent!
Color: Brown, Size: 6 Panels
I LOVE this divider! I live in an apartment with a covered patio that faces the parking lot and desperately needed some privacy. I was hesitant about ordering this due to mixed reviews but I'm so glad I took a chance. I bought the six panel in brown and it came in perfect condition, covers the entire opening, it's lightweight but sturdy enough for wind. In the 5-6 months I've had it outside it only blew over once in a hurricane and that was my fault. I should have taken it down, I knew the storm was coming...but no damage was done! It looks amazing and now I can go out on my patio day or night with complete privacy. If you're on the fence as I was, get it! Great product!

Buyer beware!
Color: Off White, Size: 6 Panels
Beware not at all a good quality. Screen is made of a very fragile product. Very cheap looking not at all anything I would want in my home. And once you have purchased it basically it is yours because Amazon can't help you because it is a third party seller. Which means you have to work with the seller directly and they want you to send it back to them on your dime to California which would almost cost the same as the purchase price.
