This monumental military history presents the opening half of Australia’s official record of the First World War, charting the nation’s transformation from a distant dominion to a force tested in global conflict. Across these volumes, Bean chronicles the formation of the Australian Imperial Force, the landing at Gallipoli, the grinding campaigns in France and the shifting momentum of the war as Australian troops confront new tactics and escalating pressure. He illustrates the strategic decisions, battlefield conditions and human cost with uncompromising clarity, arguing for the central role these experiences played in shaping Australia’s identity and military tradition.
