Australian War Diary: Australian Armed Forces in a Changing World: 1870-2010

This riveting book reflects a rich and unique view of Australian history.

The dramatic war diary itself distils the major military events of recent Australian history, from 1870 to the present day, in stories taken from eyewitness accounts or newspaper reports. Side by side, a second diary spotlights the stand-out or quirky events that took place back at home each year.

Illustrated with over 350 stunning photographs and illustrations from publications of the time, the Australian War Diary will take you back to the past to remind you that although war frequently dominates the news, alongside it our everyday lives continue.
