"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."
