During the Great War law was used in everyday life as a tool to discriminate, oppress, censor and deprive many Australians of property, liberty and basic human rights. A nation often amends its laws during war, not least to regulate life at home. Yet few historians have considered the impact of the law on Australians during the First World War. In this original book, Catherine Bond breathes life into the laws that were central to the way people were managed in Australia 1914–18. Engaging and revelatory, Law in War holds those who wrote the laws to account, exposing the sheer breadth and impact of this wartime legal regime, the injustices of which linger to this day. More than anything, it illuminates how ordinary people were caught up in – and sometimes destroyed by – these laws created in the name of victory. ‘Law in War gives us insights into the law and Australia’s Great War that Charles Bean declined to publish ninety-odd years ago. Pioneering, full of wonderful life and energy, the result has been worth waiting for.’ — Professor Peter Stanley, UNSW Canberra
As members of the human race, life sometimes presents us with situations which may compromise our moral and religious beliefs. As a police officer, these dilemmas are tenfold and often raise their ugly heads on an almost daily, non-stop basis, slowly eating away and consuming us from within. Follow the career of a young and determined police officer and view the streets through his eyes as he bears witness to life in progress. Read on and observe as the constant barrage of human indignation continually challenges his morals and brings his own religion into question, all the while transforming his youthful exuberance into well seasoned, street wise experience.
