The myth of Anzac has been one of Australia's most enduring. The
belief in the superior fighting qualities of Australia's soldiers
in the First World War is part of the national consciousness, and
the much touted 'special' relationship between Britain and
Australia during the war accepted as fact. This provocative and
wide-ranging book is a reassessment of Australia's role in World
War I and its relations - military, economic, political and
psychological - with Britain. Eric Andrews shows that it suited all
parties to propagate the myth of Anzac for their own purposes. It
was widely assumed that Britain and Australia were countries with
similar interests united by Empire. The book considers this
assumption in the light of Australia's actual military experience
in the War and finds that it was false. It also discusses the
impact of the War on the Australian attitude to Empire. The book is
a fresh - and at times controversial - consideration of issues of
abiding interest and significance.
