Beschreibung:
Ross McMullin is a historian and biographer who has written extensively about the impact on Australia of its involvement in World War I. Dr McMullin's books include his biographies, the award-winning Pompey Elliott and Will Dyson: Australia's radical genius. His book Farewell, Dear People: biographies of Australia's lost generation was awarded the Prime Minister's Prize for Australian History and the National Cultural Award. His latest work is Pompey Elliott at War: In His Own Words.
For Australia, a new nation with a relatively small population, the death of 60,000 soldiers during World War I was catastrophic. It is hardly surprising, then, that Australians evaluating the consequences of the conflict have tended to focus primarily on the numbing number of losses - on the sheer quantity of all those countrymen who did not return.
