More about the book
The book explores the profound tradition of silence among men, particularly veterans of war, as a means of self-protection from emotional trauma. This silence not only shields them from reliving their experiences but also spares women and children from the harsh realities of what the men endured. As a consequence, those who survived significant battles, like Gallipoli, often refrained from documenting their experiences, leaving a gap in the historical narrative of their trauma and resilience.
