Written by C. E. W. Bean — the official Australian War Historian who witnessed many of these events firsthand — the book chronicles the extraordinary courage and sacrifice of the Australian fighting forces across some of the most brutal campaigns of the 20th century, from the ill-fated Dardanelles landings through to the triumphant Allied advance toward Amiens in 1918.\n\nBean's prose is meticulous yet deeply human, drawing on his unparalleled access to official records, personal diaries, and direct battlefield observation to present a narrative that is both rigorously historical and profoundly moving. This condensed single-volume work distils the monumental twelve-volume Official History of Australia in the War of 1914–1918 into an accessible yet authoritative account, illuminating the birth of the ANZAC legend and its enduring impact on Australian national identity. A cornerstone of Australian military literature, it leaves the reader asking not just how these men fought — but what their sacrifice truly forged.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203164086491,"sku":"2026200014824-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/239acc88-cd72-4c4c-9945-7cebf03402da.png?v=1788144829","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014824-secondhand-anzac-to-amiens-a-shorter-history-of-the-australian-fighting-services-in-the-first-world-war","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
