The book explores the intersection of war and sport, particularly how Anzac Day commemorates Australia's war dead through athletic events. It delves into the origins of this tradition at Gallipoli in 1915, highlighting the influence of late Victorian and Edwardian concepts of masculinity that linked sporting excellence to battlefield valor. The evolution of these ideas illustrates how sport has become a vital part of honoring and remembering those who served in war.
