- This 932-page, sixteen-chapter, monograph involved research in eighteen archives across four continents; it took six years to complete. The book constitutes an important move away from national approaches towards a transnational history of the armies of Australia, Britain, Canada, India, New Zealand and South Africa. By making use of unexplored primary sources (including nearly a thousand censorship reports), new transnational datasets (on the medical, disciplinary and voting behaviours of soldiers), and by adopting innovative interdisciplinary methodologies (including the use of statistically robust social class profiles), the book integrates the military, social, political and cultural histories of the Commonwealth between 1919-1948.
