Over 100,000 Australians have laid down their lives in the service of their country over the past 100 years. Conflicts including the two world wars, Korea and Vietnam have been fought by young men from every state in the country. In the Line of Fire explores the nature of combat from the point of the view of the men doing the actual fighting. From the heights of Gallipoli to the trenches of the Western Front, from the deserts of North Africa to the jungle POW camps of the Thai-Burma Railway, from the savage cold of a Korean winter to the steamy heat of Vietnam, this book details what it's really like to be in the line of fire. It also reveals the experiences of Australian women at war, as well as the combat photographers who did so much to document the realities of the front line. Using first-hand accounts, contemporary sources, biographies and over 60 classic photographs to create an extraordinarily vivid picture of Australians in combat, this book also provides an incisive overview of each campaign that lends depth and context to each of the individual stories. Compelling, fascinating and informative, it's a must-have for any student of Australian history.

This beautiful hardback book celebrates 100 years since the outbreak of World War One by featuring stories behind 100 memorials to the fallen from across Australia. In a distinctively original and captivating way, this unique book shows how the terrible sacrifice of young Australians has reverberated across this country through time, and how the memories still resonate in so many different ways. Selected for their unique design, their grandeur or their simplicity, the one hundred memorials have been arranged alphabetically and represent the diversity of memorials to the Anzac spirit from each state and territory across the nation. 'In the "War to End all Wars"Australians paid an extraordinary price. A generation of Australians was never the same. The ricochets have continued since. While Australia itself was not attacked, it was certainly changed forever. 100 years on, the search for understanding and the connections of family, place, institutions and community grow stronger every year. "Remembrance"is a timely tribute which captures the breadth of Australia's commitment and the endless quest to honour those who served and establish contemporary connections.' - Ted Baillieu MLA

The legacy of war is complex. From the late twentieth century as we moved closer to the centenary of the start of the First World War, Australia was swept by an ‘Anzac revival’ and a feverish sense of commemoration. In this book, leading historians reflect on the commemorative splurge, which involved large amounts of public spending, and also re-examine what happened in the immediate aftermath of the war itself. At the end of 1918, Australia faced the enormous challenge of repatriating hundreds of thousands of soldiers and settling them back into society. Were returning soldiers as traumatised as we think? What did the war mean for Indigenous veterans and for relations between Catholics and Protestants? Did war unify or divide us? The country also faced major questions about its role in the world order that emerged after Versailles. How has the way we commemorate the war skewed our view of what really happened? Provocative and engaging essays from a diverse group of leading historians discuss the profound ways in which the Great War not only affected our political system and informed decades of national security policy but shaped — and continues to shape — our sense of who we are, for better or worse. This book reminds us that we live with the legacies of war still, in ways we may not see. ‘The Great War: Aftermath and commemoration is a tour de force. It presents cutting-edge scholarship on the impact of the Great War on Australian society and on the war’s commemorative landscape and legacy, which, in Australia today, are both more pronounced and more contested than anywhere else on earth. Thoughtful and provocative, this book is required reading for all those drawn to the war as the defining moment of the last 100 years.’ — Jay Winter 'What were the legacies of the Great War in Australia? In this new book, our leading historians contemplate the aftermath — for individuals, politics, the arts — and provide much-needed critical reflection on its commemoration across the course of a century.' — Christina Twomey

his publication is a unique and highly readable contribution to the commemoration of the centenary of the Anzacs in World War 1. Ted Egan presents an historical documentation of the Anzacs and the ordinary men, women and children of the two young nations of Australia and New Zealand, forever affected by this tragic episode in world history. Set against the political background of the day, succinctly revealed, Egan brings a clarity and immediacy to this period by his interweaving of personal stories, deeply moving songs, a collection of public and personal photos and an historical narrative that speaks directly to the reader, engaging our hearts as well as our heads. It is a story of the loss of innocence of two young nations, for a generation and beyond. Amusing anecdotes and stories of great courage and ingenuity leaven, to some extent, the brutal truth behind the personal stories.
