Produktbeschreibung

During the Great War law was used in everyday life as a tool to discriminate, oppress, censor and deprive many Australians or property, liberty and basic human rights. A nation often amands its laws during war, not least to regulate life at home. Yet few historians have considered the impact of the law on Australians during the First World War. In this book, Catherine Bond breathes life into the laws that we central to the way people were managed in Australia 1914-18. Law in war holds those who wrote the laws to account, exporing the sheer breadth and impact of this wartime legal regime, the injustices of which linger to this day. More than anything, it illuminates how ordinary people were caught up in -- and sometimes destroyed by -- these laws created in the name of victory.
