Edited for the Board of Management of the Australian War Memorial by Norman Bartlett, this landmark volume gathers together a rich tapestry of accounts, illustrations, and records that document the courage, sacrifice, and strategic ingenuity of Australian servicemen and women across generations of conflict.\n\nPublished under the auspices of the Australian War Memorial — the nation's foremost institution dedicated to preserving military heritage — this work carries with it the weight of official authority and scholarly rigour. Bartlett's editorial hand ensures a narrative that is both meticulously researched and compellingly readable, illuminating not just the battles themselves but the broader cultural and national identity forged in the crucible of war. For students of military history, collectors of Australiana, and anyone who wishes to understand the soul of a nation shaped by its fighting spirit, this volume remains an indispensable and deeply moving testament.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572617351387,"sku":"2026100011426-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9ec717cc-f173-4085-80c4-fe3ed2e4200b.png?v=1791166933","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011426-secondhand-australia-at-arms","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
