Reviews for Anzac Labour
“Wise’s book makes a useful contribution towards the erosion of the tendency towards ancestor worship of Australian soldiers of the Great War, which is too commonly the dominant theme in popular narratives; and for this it is to be welcomed.” (Jeffrey Grey, Labour History, May, 2015)
