Definitive and Stunning

Just as The World At War (Thames, 1974) is considered the definitive A/V history of World War II, Australians at War is the definitive history of Australian's involvement in conflicts throughout history. Including footage never before seen by people who aren't involved in archiving at various film libraries, and even footage not known to exist, Australians at War examines the grand strategy and politics of the various campaigns, as well as the hardships faced by the men on the ground. It is one of the best documentaries to have been produced in recent years, and I would recommend it to any person, Australian or not, who has any interest in this nation's history.
