Australians at War (Revised Edition)

The part played by Australians in fighting aggression over a century of conflict is a proud chapter in our history.  Australians have fought in two World Wars from the Arctic Circle to the Pacific, from the muddy battlefields of France to the deserts of the Middle East and the jungles of New Guinea. This richly illustrated book chronicles the battles and actions fought by Australian soldiers, sailors and airmen from the first campaigns of the ANZACS on Gallipoli and in France when they were described as the ‘finest fighters the world has ever seen’  through the Second World War to the conflicts in Korea and Vietnam and to their recent service in Somalia, Cambodia, the Persian Gulf, Timor, Afghanistan and Iraq.
