Soldiers and GentlemenAustralian Battalion Commanders in the Great War, 1914-1918
William WestermanAustralian National University
Soldiers and Gentlemen: Australian Battalion Commanders in the Great War, 1914-1918 is the first book to examine the background, role and conduct of Australian commanding officers during the First World War. Though they held positions of power, commanding officers inhabited a leadership no man’s land – they exerted great influence over their units, but they were also largely excluded from the decision-making process and faced the same risks as junior officers on the battlefield. A soldier’s well-being and success in battle was heavily dependent on a commanding officer’s competence, but little is known about the men who filled these roles. In his groundbreaking book, William Westerman explores the stories of the vitally important, yet often forgotten, commanding officers. Theirs is a story of the timeless challenges of military leadership, and this book prevents them from slipping from the public memory to enhance our knowledge of the conflict.
FEATURED TITLES
• Explores previously unknown stories of key Australian army leaders

KokodaBeyond the Legend
Edited by Karl JamesAustralian War Memorial
Courage. Endurance. Mateship. Sacrifice. These values, engraved in stone at the Isurava war memorial, have become synonymous with the Australian experience during the Kokoda campaign of 1942. The story of Kokoda and of the fighting in Papua has been told and retold in books, films and documentaries, but these popular narratives rarely explore beyond this one campaign. Kokoda: Beyond the Legend critically assesses not only the campaigns in Papua and their context in the wider lengthy Pacific war, but also the actions of senior Australian, American and Japanese military leaders. Moving beyond the legend, this book addresses the central question of why Kokoda holds such a significant place in Australian military history. In this book, Karl James brings together eminent military scholars to reassess the principal battles from both Allied and Japanese perspectives, providing readers with a more complete understanding of one of the major turning points in the Second World War.
Karl James is a Senior Historian in the Military History Section at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra and a Departmental Visitor with the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre at the Australian National University, Canberra.
• Brings together leading historians from Australia, Britain, the United States and Japan to re-examine the Kokoda campaign from both Allied and Japanese perspectives
• Moves beyond the legend to discuss why Kokoda holds such a significant place in Australian military history
• Includes images from both the past and present, providing readers with a visual history of the region

The Afterlife of John Fitzgerald KennedyA BiographyMichael J. HoganUniversity of Illinois
In his new book, Michael J. Hogan, a leading historian of the American presidency, offers a new perspective on John Fitzgerald Kennedy, as seen not from his life and times but from his afterlife in American memory. The Afterlife of John Fitzgerald Kennedy considers how Kennedy constructed a popular image of himself, in effect, a brand, as he played the part of president on the White House stage. The cultural trauma brought on by his assassination further burnished that image and began the process of transporting Kennedy from history to memory. Hogan shows how Jacqueline Kennedy, as the chief guardian of her husband’s memory, devoted herself to embedding the image of the slain president in the collective memory of the nation, evident in the many physical and literary monuments dedicated to his memory. Regardless of critics, most Americans continue to see Kennedy as his wife wanted him remembered: the charming war hero, the loving husband and father, and the peacemaker and progressive leader who inspired confidence and hope in the American people.
• Uses conceptual frameworks drawn from recent work in history, literary studies, and the social sciences to help readers see the Kennedy legend in a new and interesting light
• Draws heavily on theoretical works in cultural studies and the social sciences, offering new insights while remaining easily accessible to general readers
• Focuses primarily on the afterlife of Kennedy in American memory rather than his life, proposing a new and original path through the vast literature on John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Praise for The Afterlife of John Fitzgerald Kennedy: A Biography
‘Michael J. Hogan has given us a fascinating look not just at the afterlife of President Kennedy, but at how we memorialize – in our evolving histories and unfolding memories – leaders who touch our soul.’
Larry Tye, author of Bobby Kennedy: The Making of a Liberal Icon
Michael J. Hogan is Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Illinois, Springfield, and Emeritus Professor of History at the Ohio State University. Past president of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations, Hogan served for fifteen years as editor of Diplomatic History, the journal of record for scholars of American foreign relations and national security studies.

A History of East AsiaFrom the Origins of Civilization to the Twenty-First CenturyCharles HolcombeUniversity of Northern Iowa
Charles Holcombe begins by asking the question ‘what is East Asia?’ In the modern age, many of the features that made the region – now defined as including China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam – distinct have been submerged by the effects of revolution, politics or globalisation. Yet, as an ancient civilisation, the region had both an historical and cultural coherence. This shared past is at the heart of this ambitious book, which traces the story of East Asia from the dawn of history to the twenty-first century. The second edition has been imaginatively revised and expanded to place emphasis on cross-cultural interactions and connections, both within East Asia and beyond, with new material on Vietnam and modern pop culture. The second edition also features a Chinese character list, additional maps and new illustrations.
Charles Holcombe is Professor of History at the University of Northern Iowa. His publications include The Genesis of East Asia, 221 BC–AD 907 (2001) and In the Shadow of the Han: Literati Thought and Society at the Start of the Southern Dynasties (1994).
• An introduction to East Asia from the dawn of history to the present by a premier scholar in the field
• Features multiple illustrations, maps, a glossary, a pronunciation guide and a timeline
• The second edition has been thoroughly updated and revised throughout, with new chapters on Vietnam, new material on modern pop culture and a Chinese character list
• Emphasis has been placed on cross-cultural interactions and connections, both within East Asia and beyond
KEY FEATURES
Praise for A History of East Asia
‘Treading a line between the emerging field of transnational history and a more traditional regional history, Holcombe has written a valuable and impressive guide to the histories of East Asia. The historical and regional scope, reaching from the ancient past to the ultra-modern present, is unprecedented in a volume of this size. Students of East Asia and of international history will find this book essential reading.’
