We hear the stories of the women and families who were affected, and those who returned to Australia: the gassed, the crippled, the insane--all those irreparably damaged by war. There has been no shortage of heroic stories over the course of the Anzac Centenary: stories of courage and sacrifice, fortitude and endurance, mateship and resolve. But a hundred years on, there is a need for other stories as well--the stories too often marginalized in favor of nation-building narratives. Drawn from a unique collection of sources, including repatriation files, these heartbreaking and deeply personal stories reveal a broken and suffering generation--gentle men driven to violence, mothers sent insane with grief, the hopelessness of rehabilitation and the quiet, pervasive sadness of loss. This is an unflinching and remarkable social history that makes an important contribution to the way we remember. Telling the whole truth about war requires its own kind of courage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Scates,Laura James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0143799983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143799986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Viking Australia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 9.30w x 1.30d","brand":"Bruce Scates","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49096658551039,"sku":"9780143799986","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/world-war-one-bruce-scates-9780143799986","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
