The Genesis of a Policy
The years 1921–57 marked a period of immense upheaval for Australia as the nation navigated economic crises, the threat of aggressive Japanese expansion and shifting power distributions with the world transitioning from British leadership to that of the US. This book offers a reassessment of Australia’s foreign policy origins and maturation during these tumultuous years. Successive Australian governments carefully observed these global and regional forces. The policy that developed in response was an integrated one—that is, one that sought to balance Australia’s particular geopolitical circumstances with great power relationships and, in assessing the value of these relationships, en...
Australia on the World Stage
Australia on the World Stage: History, Politics, and International Relations offers a fresh examination of Australia’s past and present.

The Great War
The legacy of war is complex. From the late twentieth century as we moved closer to the centenary of the start of the First World War, Australia was swept by an ‘Anzac revival’ and a feverish sense of commemoration. In this book, leading historians reflect on the commemorative splurge, which involved large amounts of public spending, and also re-examine what happened in the immediate aftermath of the war itself. At the end of 1918, Australia faced the enormous challenge of repatriating hundreds of thousands of soldiers and settling them back into society. Were returning soldiers as traumatised as we think? What did the war mean for Indigenous veterans and for relations between Catholics ...
The Bravest Scout at Gallipoli
Harry Freame was the first Australian to win the Distinguished Conduct Medal at Gallipoli. Raised as a samurai, he risked his life again and again to scout the beaches and hills of the battlefield, reporting invaluable intelligence back to his officers and relieving stranded soldiers who otherwise would surely have died. Some say he should have got the VC but didn't because he was half-Japanese, a fact he tried hard to conceal. After the war, Harry (real name Henry Wykeham Koba Freame) became a soldier settler and champion apple grower. But when Japan emerged as a perceived threat to Australia, Harry was recruited into Australian intelligence to spy on the Japanese community in Sydney. Befor...

This ambitious collection aims to guide students through the current landscape of Canadian creative industries through three thematic sections. “Production” collects chapters focused on how national discourses and identities are produced through cr...

Pourquoi la Seconde Guerre mondiale ?
L'historien Pierre Grosser aborde les origines de la Seconde Guerre mondiale à la lumière de l'historiographie et des plus récentes recherches sur ce problème, dans cet ouvrage synthétique et sans équivalent. Fut-elle le produit de l'appeasement britannique, de l'isolationnisme américain et de la décadence française, incapables de faire face aux prétentions allemande, japonaise et italienne ? La conséquence de l'expansionnisme des pays de l'Axe, du repli économique après la crise de 1929, des rivalités impériales ? Les origines de la Seconde Guerre mondiale continuent de faire l'objet de nombreux travaux qui confirment, affinent ou transforment notre manière de comprendre le ...
