This book charts the Shrine's history from the first fatalities of the Gallipoli landing to the present day.

Recenzje

'Energetic research applied to an unusually wide range of questions about the making of an institution; scrupulous and imaginative scholarship; due respect and exemplary candour. This book has the pleasures of both familiarity and unfamiliarity. Visually, too, it's a treat with rich and well captioned illustrations woven into the eloquent text. An admirable achievement.' Ken Inglis, Australian National University and author of Sacred Places: War Memorials in the Australian Landscape
