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."

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. Hyland House Publishing Pty Ltd., Melbourne, Victoria, 1991. Hardcover (16 x 24 cm), 216 pages. ISBN: 0947062750. The book and dust jacket (dj) are in Good condition. Purple boards with white lettering on spine. Bumped and rubbed. Most notable wear is at head and foot of spine, along bottom edges and at corners. 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.

From the Sudan in 1885 to Afghanistan in 2001, the connection of war to travel is illustrated in the observations of writers as varied as 'Banjo' Paterson, George Johnston, Nancy Wake, John Pilger, Lily Brett and Peter Weir. 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. Their lively collection crosses the boundaries between literature, literary criticism, travel writing, war writing and cultural commentary. Secondhand, Paperback.

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.
