A landmark history of Australian Jews in the military, from the First Fleet to
the recent war in Afghanistan. Over 7000 Jews have fought in Australia's
military conflicts, including more than 330 who gave their lives. While Sir John
Monash is the best known, in Jewish Anzacs acclaimed writer and historian Mark
Dapin reveals the personal, often extraordinary, stories of many other Jewish
servicemen and women: from air aces to POWs, from nurses to generals, from
generation to generation. Weaving together official records and interviews,
private letters, diaries and papers, Dapin explores the diverse lives of his
subjects and reflects on their valor, patriotism, mateship, faith and sacrifice.
