Items related to Anzac Memories
In this highly original book, Alistair Thomson poses salient questions about the Anzac legend and its effects on those who lived under its shadow. How was the legend created and what form has it taken since Charles Bean's seminal work? What was its changing significance for Australian
politics and society? Most crucially, how has it served the men whose lives it represents - the survivors of the Great War?

Review:
'his touch is deft and his eye perceptive'
Times Literary Supplement
`Thomson has achieved something significant, both in writing about the Anzac legend and in describing the use and misuse of oral history ... a refreshing contrast to the second-rate journalism which masquerades as oral history ... a fascinating, often moving, and important account. This book
tells us much about the experience of Australians in the Great War, and is highly commendable on that score alone ... It should interest all twentieth-century historians who are likely to use oral material, as either a predominant or a supporting source of evidence.'
