Chatto & Windus, 1990 - 332 עמודים
Every city, town and village has its memorial to war. Nowhere are these more eleoquent than in Australia, generations of whose young men have enlisted to fight other people's battles - from Gallipoli and the Somme to Malaya and Vietnam. In this book David Malouf gives voice to that experience, ranging over seventy years of Australian life.
