Items related to Forgotten Anzacs: The Campaign in Greece, 1941
Detailing lesser-known facts surrounding the legend of the Anzacs, this study offers the largely obscure story of their campaign during World War II. Comprehensive and gripping, this examination follows the group on their long retreat through Greece while depicting uncanny similarities to the original Gallipoli operation a generation earlier. Based on rarely accessed archives and more than 30 interviews with Australian, Greek, and New Zealand veterans, this superb narrative gives overdue recognition to the brave, forgotten Anzacs of 1941.

Review:
Peter Ewer is an official in the Victorian Department of Justice and has published in local and international history journals. He is the coauthor of Unions and the Future of Manufacturing and the coeditor of Visions for Victoria.
"This is an important contribution to Australian war literature . . . an engrossing history of a very important Anzac campaign." —Bruce Elder, Sydney Morning Herald
"Peter Ewer is one of very few Australian military historians to understand what Anzac means. This is a book that skillfully moves between the battalions of both nations bringing to the forefront whichever component the story demands, regardless of its place of origin. Ewer's true recognition of Anzac nourishes his account and he builds on that strength as he also looks at the campaign from Greek, German, and British perspectives." —Michael McKernan, Canberra Times
"Forgotten Anzacs is a timely tribute to those who took part in a neglected chapter in our military history." — Greg Thom, Herald Sun
"For those of us who were there, this is an outstanding history of both the Australian and New Zealand campaign in 1941." — Gordon Beal, 2/8th Field Company; prisoner of war, 1941-1945
"This book makes fascinating reading and does a long way in recognising these forgotten Anzacs." — Peter Masters, Australian Defence magazine
"This clear and well-written account of the campaign should do much to rescue the forgotten Anzacs from neglect by subsequent generations." — Jeffrey Grey, Australian Book Review
