The Anzacs : Gallipoli to the Western Front /
Pedersen, P. A.(Peter Andreas),1952-
Camberwell , Vic. : Penguin Group,
2008.
A paperback edition of The Anzacs (Viking, 2007). This important book traces the evolution of the Australian Imperial Force from the enthusiastic amateurs of Gallipoli to the skilled warriors of the Western Front, where fighting in conditions of unspeakable horror and brutality they won their legendary reputation as 'the best infantry men of the war and perhaps of all time'. By war's end the Australian Corps - a mere 9 per cent of the total British force - accounted for 22 per cent of total captures: a massive, and disproportionate, contribution to victory.
