Australian military history is a landscape of legends, yet across the length and
breadth of military heritage, accuracy and objectivity are often shunted aside
so that tales and myths bent on commemoration, veneration, and the idealization
of Australian virtues can thrive. In this book, a team of renowned historians
resume the battle to expose a host of stubborn fantasies and fabrications that
obscure the real story. Confronting and clear-eyed, it goes beyond the
indulgent, politicized, and emotionally-charged rhetoric of Anzac-that
sacrosanct idea in the national psyche-to find out exactly what it means to be
Australian at war, and proud of it.
