The Anzac legend is integral to the Australian sense of nationhood and national character. This study explores both the creation of the legend and its effect upon those who have lived in its shadow - the survivors of World War I. Looking at the legend's changing significance for Australian politics and society, the author draws on personal interviews with surviving war veterans, as well as the official histories of Charles Bean, and the depiction of Anzacs in recent novels and movies.
