Australia 1943

Edited by Peter Dean, Australian National University

By January 1943, Australia had emerged from the shadow of war in a strong position. The victories in 1942 at Kokoda, Guadalcanal, Buna, Gona and Sanananda had secured the northern coastlines of Papua and Australia. Australia 1943 explores the high point of Australia’s influence on operations and strategy in the South West Pacific, a campaign that has been traditionally overshadowed by the drama of Kokoda.

This is the first detailed single-volume study of Australia’s military operations in the Pacific during 1943 - Australia’s ‘finest hour’ in the Second World War.

The Liberation of New Guinea

The Australian Army from Whitlam to Howard

by John Blaxland, Australian National University

The Australian Army from Whitlam to Howard is the first critical examination of Australia’s post-Vietnam military operations. Blaxland explores the ‘casualty cringe’ felt by political leaders following the war. He contends that the Army’s rehabilitation involved common individual and collective training and reaffirmation of the Army’s regimental and corps identities. He shows how the Army regained its confidence to play leading roles in East Timor, Bougainville and the Solomon Islands, and to contribute to combat operations further afield.

Viewing America

by Christopher Bigsby

For the last decade and a half America has assumed a dominant position. Novelists, screenwriters and journalists, who would once have had no interest in writing for television, indeed who often despised it, suddenly realised that it was where America could have a dialogue with itself. The new television drama was where writers could engage with the social and political realities of the time, interrogating the myths and values of a society moving into a new century. This is a book as much about a changing America as about the television series which have addressed it, from The Sopranos and The Wire to The West Wing, Mad Men and Treme, in what has emerged as the second golden age of American television drama.

The Letters of Ernest Hemingway

by Ernest Hemingway. Edited by Sandra Spanier, Robert W. Trogdon

The Letters of Ernest Hemingway documents the life and creative development of a gifted artist and outsized personality whose work would both reflect and transform his times. Volume 2 (1923–1925) illuminates Hemingway’s literary apprenticeship in the legendary milieu of expatriate Paris in the 1920s. We witness the development of his friendships with the likes of Sylvia Beach, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and John Dos Passos. In this period, Hemingway publishes his first three books, including In Our Time (1925), and discovers a lifelong passion for Spain and the bullfight, quickly transforming his experiences into fiction as The Sun Also Rises (1926). The volume features many previously unpublished letters and a humorous sketch that was rejected by Vanity Fair.
