Australia's official war correspondent during WWI, Charles Bean was
also Australia's first official war historian and the driving force
behind the creation of the Australian War Memorial. Famously
criticised for his deliberate myth-making as editor of The Anzac
Book, Bean was also a public servant, institutional leader, author,
activist, thinker, doer, philosopher and polemicist. In Charles
Bean, Man, myth, legacy Australia's top military historians -
including Peter Stanley, Peter Burness, Michael McKernan, Jeffrey
Grey, Peter Edwards, David Horner, Peter Rees and Craig Stockings -
analyse the man, the myth and his long-reaching legacy. Sales
Points The nation's leading military historians - including Peter
Stanley, Peter Burness, Michael McKernan, Jeffrey Grey, Peter
Edwards, David Horner, Peter Rees and Craig Stockings - examine
Bean's life in an attempt to grasp the totality of his legacy. This
is the first collective attempt to capture and portray the man, his
work and his influence on Australian history. A definitive work
that will be purchased by military history readers, specialists and
students alike.
