War and Upheaval: 1909–1992 investigates why and how Australia has been drawn into global conflicts throughout the twentieth century as alliances shifted and new perceived threats to regional security emerged. It also explores how being drawn into these global conflicts have often led to turmoil and division within Australian society.
