Australia's Pacific War Author: Tom O'Lincoln

ISBN: 9780646553535 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 194 Published: 1 September 2011 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 21.0 x 13.5 Description: War is such a nightmare. It's hard to believe any war can retain a positive aura for decades. Yet the vast conflict in the Pacific is a shibboleth for Australian politics to this day. Politicians in particular use its appeal to legitimize modern wars.

Tom O'Lincoln's books questions every aspect of this syndrome. He argues that the Pacific War was an imperialist one on both sides, that the west cannot claim the high moral ground, and that wartime Australia was riven with class and other social conflicts. His aim is to challenge an Australian national myth.
