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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOnce dominated by the battlefield and official accounts of the war correspondent and official historian, C.E.W.

Studies of the home front reveal a society riven by divisions without precedent in the nation's history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis 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.","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47616306708631,"sku":"9780367717490","price":13345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367717490.webp?v=1775112472","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/australias-war-1914-18-9780367717490","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
