Along the way, Tate examines the dark crevices of the male psyche as he battles inner demons and the unconditional love of his beautiful Christian wife, Carole.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbove all, this memoir is a celebration of the human condition and of a man with a can-do, cavalier attitude to life and his desire to rise above mediocrity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn outstanding contribution to Australia's rich heritage of memoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Don Tate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1475920415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781475920413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.96d","brand":"Don Tate","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123889336575,"sku":"9781475920413","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_161417ee-18e8-4f6f-bff5-e8e84ae33221.jpg?v=1687433487","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-war-within-don-tate-9781475920413","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
