For 100 years, Australians have sought their reflection in the
Great War. This book tells the story of what we saw. Raise a glass
for an Anzac. Run for an Anzac. Camp under the stars for an Anzac.
Is there anything Australians won't do to keep the Anzac legend at
the centre of our national story? Standing firm on the other side
of the enthusiasts is a chorus of critics claiming that the
appetite for Anzac is militarising our history and indoctrinating
our children. So how are we to make sense of this struggle over how
we remember the Great War? Anzac, the Unauthorised Biography cuts
through the clamour and traces how, since 1915, Australia's memory
of the Great War has declined and surged, reflecting the varied and
complex history of the Australian nation itself. Most importantly,
it asks why so many Australians persist with the fiction that the
nation was born on 25 April 1915.
