Description for Zombie Myths of Australian Military History
Paperback. Many books on Australian military history have given rise to a host of 'zombie' myths. From the mistaken idea that there was no Aboriginal resistance to occupation, to Gallipoli as a near success, to Japanese designs to invade Australia in WWII, right up to the triumphal success that was East Timor, this book lays these zombies to rest. Editor(s): Stockings, Craig. Num Pages: 288 pages, maps. BIC Classification: 1MBF; HBJM; HBW. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 234 x 153 x 23. Weight in Grams: 376.
In this fascinating account, leading Australian military historians tackle 10 of the most enduring historical zombies, or national myths, that have staggered their way through the halls of military history for more than 200 years. From Aboriginal resistance and invasion to Australia’s recent involvement in East Timor, this record disproves the incorrectly memorialized and so-called gallant deeds of past Australian servicemen. Provocative and opinionated, this record attempts to correct the historical record.
