On the Warpath: An Anthology of Australian Military Travel
Language: English
Published by Melbourne University Press, 2004
ISBN 10: 0522850871 ISBN 13: 9780522850871
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Melbourne University Press, 2004. Softcover (16 x 24 cm), xii, 350 pages. ISBN: 0522850871. Very Good condition. Bumped, scuffed/scratched. Rolled, creased at edges. "This important anthology reveals the many ways in which going to war has formed a cultural bridge between Australia and the world. From the Sudan in 1885 to Afghanistan in 2001, the connection of war to travel is illustrated in the observations of writers. Selecting writings from combatants abroad as well as the reflections of sightseers who travel to foreign battlefields and war sites, Robin Gerster and Peter Pierce reveal how the experience of war has both broadened and refined (and sometimes distorted) Australian views of the world." Weight: (before packaging): 550g.

Language: English
Published by Hyland House Publishing Pty Ltd, 1991
ISBN 10: 0947062750 ISBN 13: 9780947062750
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Hyland House Publishing Pty Ltd., Melbourne, Victoria, 1991. Hardcover (16 x 24 cm), 216 pages. ISBN: 0947062750.

Slanted spine. Pastedowns/endpapers foxing. A few internal markings (small ink lines along some parts of text). The dj is bumped/scuffed. Creases along edges with some small closed tears. In this entertaining and provocative book, the authors use newspapers, fiction, drama and film in order to define the Australian sixties. They discover a time when Australia both confidently asserted its place in the world and withdrew even more into insularity and dependence, a time of contradiction and paradox, the confusions of which are presented in striking photographs. Weight: 620g.

Published by Melbourne University Press, 1988
ISBN 10: 0522845010 ISBN 13: 9780522845013
Paperback. Robin Gerster, Melbourne University Press. "An engagingly readable, entertaining yet scholarly survey of the Australian war mythology. An adventurous, but meticulous study .this is a book that bayonets a too-long-held myth." - "Judges' Report, 1988 Age "Book of the Year"" ".the most incisive, comprehensive and controversial account so far to appear of Australian literature of war .carries out a neglected task of literary and cultural history." - Peter Pierce "Age" ".a brave argument and a brave book .a beautifully written book .you'll never feel quite the same about Anzac or Gallipoli again." - Judith Smart "Victorian Historical Journal" "Gerster's central heresy .deserves to be taken very seriously indeed. The book should be bought at the shop rather than burned at the stake." - Mark Thomas "Canberra Times" "Dr Robin Gerster lectures in English at Monash University. He is the co-author of "Seizures of youth: the sixties and Australia" (Hyland House), and has been published widely in Australian journals and newspapers.". Paperback.
