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 central to how 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. (back cover)
