The book explores the intersection between the Great War and
patriotism through an examination of the effects of both on
Australia's most popular football code. The work is chronological,
and therefore provides an easy path by which events may be
followed. Ultimately it seeks to shine a light on and provide
considerable detail to a much-ignored period in Australian Rules
football history, including women's football history, that was
subject to much upheaval and which reflected considerable social
and class divisions in society at the time. One hundred years on,
the Australian Football League presents past soldier footballers as
unequivocal representatives of a unifying national 'Anzac' spirit.
That is far from the reality of football's First World War
experience.
