Description
The Voices of War draws from engagements ranging from World War I through to operations in East Timor and Iraq. The stories are taken from the Australians at War Film Archive, a collection of the memories of over two thousand Australians who have served, both on the front line and at home.
Some stories are unbelievably, unbearably tragic, even after sixty or seventy years, while others are the golden memories of happy, albeit unusual, times. More often than not, they are stories which have never been shared with others, even family members. There are stories from winners of the Victoria Cross, stories from the POW camps of Asia and Europe, from the patrols of Vietnam, through to those who served as peacekeepers in Rwanda and Somalia.
There are stories from nurses, from those who have volunteered to serve with aid agencies, and stories of ordinary Australians caught up by circumstances and by duty in wartime. These are their words.

The Voices of War by Michael Caulfield draws on accounts from the Australians at War Film Archive, covering conflicts from World War I to Iraq. The book is praised for capturing the raw emotions and experiences of ordinary Australians, including VC winners, nurses, and peacekeepers, who displayed extraordinary bravery and character, often infused with a distinct Aussie humour.
