Overall, a very unemotional account <strong>of</strong> WWI is provided. Considering this was the world’s largest conflict ever<br />

and involved a significant portion <strong>of</strong> the world’s population, it is surprising the ‘factual’ and ‘non emotive’ way<br />

this conflict is reported in the textbook. This surprise is furthered, as the public discourses around the time <strong>of</strong><br />

WWI were very emotive (for example, arguments for and against the conflict, for and against conscription,<br />

protecting the empire).<br />

The following excerpt is <strong>of</strong> interest as it describes the landing <strong>of</strong> the Anzacs at Gallipoli, one <strong>of</strong> the first points<br />

<strong>of</strong> military action experienced for the Australians in WWI. This could possibly be used in conjunction with<br />

public discourses for this era during the final analysis.<br />
