First published in 1982 as Lords of Death.

The sacred nature of Anzac day is as important to Australians now as it was nearly a century ago. But why? Integral to an understanding of its continuing significance is the comprehension of the relationship between the Pioneer and Anzac experiences and their effect on the evolution of the Australian consciousness.

Bush Heroes is a fascinating story of the men of ANZAC, the story of the extraordinary hardship and struggle of both the Australian bush and Gallipoli, which have created our most powerful legends. (back cover)
