The events of the Great War intensified the relationship between the British Empire and Australia—the legacy can still be felt today.

Australia and the Great War explores both the immediate and long-term consequences of the war on this complex relationship, looking in particular at identity, history, gender, propaganda, economics and nationalism.

This multidisciplinary collection of essays unveils the creation and subsequent misuse of histories and mythologies while considering the necessity and nature of remembering and forgetting war. (back cover)
