During the Great War law was used in everyday life as a tool to discriminate,
oppress, censor, and deprive many Australians of property, liberty, and basic
human rights. A nation often amends its laws during war, not least to regulate
life at home. Yet few historians have considered the impact of the law on
Australians during the First World War. In this original book, Catherine Bond
breathes life into the laws that were central to the way people were managed in
Australia 1914-18. Engaging and revelatory, Law in War holds those who wrote the
laws to account, exposing the sheer breadth and impact of this wartime legal
regime: the injustices of which linger to this day. More than anything, it
illuminates how ordinary people were caught up in-and sometimes destroyed
by-these laws created in the name of victory.
