Australia at War 1914–1918 chronicles the full arc of Australia's involvement in the First World War, from the patriotic rush to enlist in the earliest days of the conflict to the hard-won, devastating campaigns that defined the ANZAC spirit, presenting the military, social, and political dimensions of a nation tested by total war for the very first time.\n\nP. F. Gilbert writes with the clarity and authority of a dedicated historian committed to making this pivotal chapter of Australian history accessible to a wide readership. Part of the Discovering Australian History series, the work situates Australia's war experience within the broader context of global conflict, illustrating how four years of fighting irrevocably transformed Australian identity, politics, and society. Rich in historical detail yet written with an approachable voice, this volume leaves the reader asking a timeless question: what kind of nation is truly forged in the fire of war?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49313641332955,"sku":"2026200016681-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6a5c44b4-f6d5-4998-b42d-ec8d8a0ad9d8.png?v=1789524816","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016681-secondhand-australia-at-war-1914-1918","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
