Book excerpt: The ANZAC victory at Beersheba on October 31, 1917, was not only the pivotal event that changed the tide of history for the Middle East but also the key that propelled biblical prophecy into a new era. God used the daring and adventurous spirit of the ANZACs to bring the ultimate breakthrough that turned the course of the Middle Eastern campaign and paved the way for the re-gathering of the Jews, the re-establishment of the nation of Israel and the preparation for Jesus' return as King. The ANZAC Call is going forth for the nation and the church to celebrate the centenary of this event, which also occurs on the 500th anniversary of Luther's challenge to the church that led to the Protestant Reformation. We have remembered our ANZAC losses; now let's celebrate our ANZAC victories!Will a new army of spiritual Anzac warriors arise to take up the challenge to complete spiritually what our ANZAC forefathers began physically and initiate a new reformation? Our nations' destiny is at stake.

Download or read book Anzac s Long Shadow written by James Brown and published by Black Inc.. This book was released on 2014-02-15 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘A century ago we got it wrong. We sent thousands of young Australians on a military operation that was barely more than a disaster. It’s right that a hundred years later we should feel strongly about that. But have we got our remembrance right? What lessons haven’t we learned about war, and what might be the cost of our Anzac obsession?’ Defence analyst and former army officer James Brown believes that Australia is expending too much time, money and emotion on the Anzac legend, and that today’s soldiers are suffering for it. Vividly evoking the war in Afghanistan, Brown reveals the experience of the modern soldier. He looks closely at the companies and clubs that trade on the Anzac story. He shows that Australians spend a lot more time looking after dead warriors than those who are alive. We focus on a cult of remembrance, instead of understanding a new world of soldiering and strategy. And we make it impossible to criticise the Australian Defence Force, even when it makes the same mistakes over and over. None of this is good for our soldiers or our ability to deal with a changing world. With respect and passion, Brown shines a new light on Anzac’s long shadow and calls for change. "Bold, original, challenging - James Brown tackles the burgenoning Anzac industry and asks Australians to re-examine how we think about the military and modern-day service." - Leigh Sales "The best book yet written, not just on Australia's Afghan war, but on war itself and the creator/destroyer myth of Anzac." - John Birmingham James Brown is a former Australian Army officer, who commanded a cavalry troop in Southern Iraq, served on the Australian taskforce headquarters in Baghdad, and was attached to Special Forces in Afghanistan. Today he is the Military Fellow at the Lowy Institute for International Policy where he works on strategic military issues and defence policy. He also chairs the NSW Government’s Contemporary Veterans Forum. He lives in Sydney.

Download or read book Pozi eres written by Scott Bennett and published by Scribe Publications. This book was released on 2012-03-21 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1916, one million men fought in the first battle of the Somme. Victory hinged on their ability to capture a small village called Pozieres. After five attempts to seize it, the British called in the Anzacs to complete this seemingly impossible task. At midnight on 23 July 1916, thousands of Australians stormed Pozieres. Forty-five days later they were relieved, having suffered 23,000 casualties to gain a few miles of barren landscape. Despite the toll, the operation was heralded as a stunning victory. Yet for the exhausted survivors, the war-weary public, and the families of the dead and maimed, victory came at a terrible cost. Drawing on the letters and diaries of the men who fought at Pozieres, this superb book reveals a battlefield drenched in chaos and fear. Bennett sheds light on the story behind the official history, re-creating the experiences of those men who fought in one of the largest and most devastating battles of the Great War and returned home, all too often, as shattered men.

Book excerpt: The Anzac legend is ruthlessly secular. If religious references appear at all, they are usually as profanity or the ritual presence of a chaplain burying the dead. But religion played an important part in the lives of many Anzacs. These Anzac heroes were legends-and not just for their courage and endurance at Gallipoli. These men were also respected, and even loved, for their sturdy faith in God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the true story of one of the longest-living and quietest World War I survivors, The Tale of the Anzac Tortoise is an epic tale of soldiers, nurses, sacrifice and kindness, when siblings Matthew and Marama find themselves transported back in time to the shores of Gallipoli through an encounter with a tortoise. The original tortoise who inspired the story was plucked by a wounded soldier from the battlefield and then gifted to a nurse, who brought him home to New Zealand.

Download or read book The Landing at ANZAC 1915 written by Chris Roberts and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-03-05 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Landing at ANZAC, 1915 challenges many of the cherished myths of the most celebrated battle in Australian and New Zealand history – myths that have endured for almost a century. Told from both the ANZAC and Turkish perspectives, this meticulously researched account questions several of the claims of Charles Bean’s magisterial and much-quoted Australian official history and presents a fresh examination of the evidence from a range of participants. The Landing at ANZAC, 1915 reaches a carefully argued conclusion in which Roberts draws together the threads of his analysis delivering some startling findings. But the author’s interest extends beyond the simple debunking of hallowed myths, and he produces a number of lessons from the armies of today. This is a book that pulls the Gallipoli campaign into the modern era and provides a compelling argument for its continuing relevance. In short, today’s armies must never forget the lessons of Gallipoli.

Book excerpt: This paper traces the ways that Australia has constructed not only their own national identity from the legacy of the Battle of Gallipoli, but how they have also built a transnational collective memory with Turkey through various joint commemorations. Specifically, the Gallipoli Dawn Service on Anzac Day, which serves as a yearly reminder of the relationship between these nations. From the first commemoration services in Australia in 1916 to the centennial in 2015, Australia has grown the size and scope of their commemorations of the Battle of Gallipoli to the point that it is now a shared experience with Turkey.
