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.
