Publishers Description: The cultural bridge that war has formed between Australia and the world is discussed in this important anthology. From the Sudan in 1885 to Afghanistan in 2001, these lively essays connect war and travel in the observations of writers such as "Banjo" Paterson, George Johnston, Nancy Wake, John Pilger, and Peter Weir. A combination of writings from combatants abroad and retrospective travelers to foreign battlefields and war site reveals how the experience of war has broadened, refined, and even distorted Australian views of the world.
