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 longterm

nationalism.
This multidisciplinary collection of essays unveils the creation and
subsequent [mis]use of histories and mythologies while considering the
necessity and nature of both remembering, and forgetting, war.
