Australia's War, 1914-18 explores Australia's involvement in the
First World War and the effect this had on the nation' s society.
In this very accessible book, Joan Beaumont, Pam Maclean, Marnie
Haig-Muir and David Lowe focus on: where Australians fought and
why; the tensions and realignments within Australian politics in
the period of 1914-18; the stresses of the war on Australian
society, especially on women and those whom wartime hysteria cast
in the role of the 'enemy' at home; the impact of the war on the
country's economy; the role played by Australia in international
diplomacy; and finally, the creation and influence of the Anzac
legend. Once dominated by the battlefield and official accounts of
the war correspondent and official historian, C.E.W. Bean,
Australian writing on the war has acquired a new depth and
sophistication. Studies of the home front reveal a society riven by
divisions without precedent in the nation's history. This single
volume will be invaluable to tertiary students and of enormous
interest to the reader concerned with the social, political and
military history of Australia.
