Broken Nation : Australians In The Great War
Hardback Edition: 1
Broken Nation is the first book to bring together all the dimensions of World War I. Combining deep scholarship with powerful storytelling, Joan Beaumont brings the war years to life: from the well-known battles at Gallipoli, Pozieres, Fromelles, and Villers-Bretonneux, to the lesser known battles in Europe and the Middle East; from the ferocious debates over conscription to the disillusioning Paris peace conference and the devastating "Spanish" flu the soldiers brought home. Witness the fear and courage of tens of thousands of soldiers, grapple with the strategic nightmares confronting the commanders, and come to understand the impact on Australians at home and at the front of death on an unprecedented scale.
A century after the Great War, Broken Nation brings lucid insight into the dramatic events, mass grief, and political turmoil that makes the memory of this terrible war central to Australia's history.
