  • The inner Monash by Peter Pedersen. There was more to Australia's greatest general than success on the battlefield.
  • The beginning of the end by Hew Strachan. Events in motion by 1918 moved the war to a faster end than expected.
  • The "obscene peace" of 1918 by David Sutton. Eight months before the Armistice of November 1918, Germany struck a crucial deal with Russia.
  • The last roll of the dice by Steven R. Welch. Ludendorff's brilliant tactics were not enough in the German spring offensives of 1918.

  • The vigil of Empire by Thomas Rogers. Poetry shows that Australians joined the fight in South Africa in support of the British Empire.
  • Britain's invasion nightmare by David G. Morgan-Owen. How popular fear of invasion had a significant effect on British preparations for war before 1914.
  • Australia's Largest Single War Trophy by Shane Casey
