Industry Reviews

"Global history of the kind championed in this book is no longer a choice; it is a necessity, and, going by the high level of scholarship found in this book, a portent of excellent things to come." (Jay Winter, Australian Historical Studies, Vol. 49, 2018)
"The collection is a worthy addition to the stock of historical writing about Australia and the Great War ... . the book shows that Australian war history has much more to offer - and illustrates possible future directions." (Martin Crotty, Honest History, honesthistory.net.au, September, 2017)
