This book is at the forefront of a new chapter in Australian military history. It is a fascinating collection of social-military stories that record Muslim involvement in Australian military forces from the Sudan and Boer wars to the Great War and Second World War. It demonstrates that Australian Muslims and their descendants from many ethnicities, races, sects and cultures took part with Australian non-Muslims in fighting for the common cause during times of national significance. In light of historical and current interests, the book, for the first time, reveals many unknown historical facts about Muslim involvement in the colonial forces, Australian Army, Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Australian Navy, and Merchant Navy. Thoroughly researched and comprehensively written from a Muslim and multicultural angle, the book is a Muslim narrative of a broader Anzac story in which Australian Muslims and their descendants put Australia ahead of individual cultural and religious considerations.

  • "Dr. Dzavid Haveric is widely regarded as a leading scholar on the history of Islam and Muslims in Australia. His latest book […] is an important addition to his already impressive body of work. This groundbreaking study sheds light on the often-overlooked role of Muslim servicemen in Australia's military history, a discovery that challenges popular assumptions about the nation's wartime narratives.
    - […] His book contributes significantly to the field and serves as a foundation for future research, inspiring future generations to explore this untold history further." Salih Yucel
  • "All those who appreciate the complexity of the social composition of Australia’s defence services have reason to appreciate Dr Haveric’s heroic research in illuminating this aspect of Australian military and social history."
