Patsy Adam-Smith read over 8000 diaries and letters to write her acclaimed best-seller about the First World War.

These are the extraordinary experiences of ordinary men - and they strike to the heart.

Winner of the Age Book of the Year award when first published in 1978, The Anzacs remains unrivalled as the classic account of Australia's involvement in the First World War.
