The AHA respectfully records the publication, posthumously, of the late John Moses’s final book, Gott Mit Uns! Prusso-German Political Culture in Australian Perspective: Essays Liberal & Critical (ATF Press). ‘The fifteen essays in volume are examples of the efficacy of the Hegelian concept of ‘Dialectic’ in history, as John put it. ‘My thesis is that the First and no less the Second World Wars confronted the Commonwealth of Australia with an existential choice. […] The Synthesis that resulted saw on the one hand a valiant attempt by a loyal, imperial oriented section of the Australasian populations who were determined to fight the First World War to a clean finish against Imperial Germany and her Austro-Hungarian and Turkish allies, while on the other hand there was a section who were either pacifist inclined or hostile to the British Empire and who opposed Australasian involvement because, in their view the conflict really did not concern them.’ Our congratulations to John on this final, remarkable accomplishment.
