AUSTRALIA -- MILITARY HISTORY

Summary: Collection of papers based on a symposium and preceding seminars concerning Australian military historians' preoccupations and possible future directions. Traditionally Australian military history has been dominated by official histories of the 2 World Wars. New traditions and schools that are emerging cover, for example, historical sociology - the attitudes and emotions of the common soldier; and war and society - for example, war in popular memory. There are also notable gaps in e.g. coverage of many battles ; coverage of certain periods; studies of peace-time forces; the domestic politics of the Second World War and so on.
