Zugriff:
While social histories of the war have hardly failed to note the significance of state power, Catherine Bond's study of the use of Australian law as an instrument in this process offers a precise means of studying the subject. Readers' responses to this moral intent may vary but many cases are certainly an apt reminder of the power wielded by law and the legal system. Buttressing the sense that the dynamics under review resonate beyond the war, the concluding chapter considers some of the war's legal legacies in Australian statutes, politics and lives.
