In The History Wars, Stuart Macintyre and Anna Clark explore how this intense public debate has polarised the nation and paralysed history departments. This edition includes a new afterword by Stuart Macintyre which recounts, with rueful irony, the outbreak of controversy that followed the book's original publication, and the further light it shed on the uses and abuses of Australian history.
Stuart Macintyre is Ernest Scott Professor of History. Dean of Arts and Laureate Professor an the University of Melbourne. His books include A Colonial Liberalism (MUP); The Oxford History of Australia, vol.4; and The Reds: The Communist Party of Australia from Origins to Illegality.
Anna Clark is an Australian Research Council Future Fellow in Public History at the University of Technology Sydney.
