The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (Anzac) remain at the heart of
Australia's national story. But standing firm on the other side of the Anzac
enthusiasts is a chorus of critics claiming that the appetite for Anzac is
militarizing the nation's history and indoctrinating their children. Anzac, the
Unauthorised Biography cuts through the clamor to provide a much-needed
historical perspective on the battle over Anzac. It traces how, since 1915,
Australia's memory of the Great War has declined and surged, reflecting the
varied and complex history of the Australian nation itself. Most importantly, it
asks why so many Australians persist with the fiction that the nation was born
on April, 25 1915, with the beginning of the Gallipoli campaign.
