"Western Front Diaries" by Jonathan King commemorates the 90th anniversary of Allied victory during World War I. This book recounts the experiences of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) soldiers on the Western Front, a theatre often overshadowed by the Gallipoli campaign.
Through the use of soldiers' diaries, letters and photographs, the book presents a raw and honest depiction of the war, battle by bloody battle. It details the major engagements, revealing the true cost of victory. This account, in many ways, had a greater impact than Gallipoli, and contributed more to the war effort overall, although at a steep price in ANZAC lives. Featuring a foreword by the Director of the Australian War Memorial, this is a definitive account of Australia's involvement in the conflict.
