Forged by War: Australians in Combat And Back Home: Australian Veterans in Combat and Back Home - Brossura
Sinossi
In these unvarnished, firsthand accounts of Australian military involvement, veterans and their families talk about the lasting effects of the experience of war. Opening with the gripping account of a Special Air Service veteran's involvement in the 2002 Afghanistan conflict and the subsequent invasion of Iraq, this work addresses the core meaning of every major war Australians have served in since World War II. The horrors of land mines and rocket launchers are coupled with the aftereffects of battle on veterans and their loved ones, highlighting the personal costs of political decisions to resolve conflict through war or peacekeeping missions.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In Forged By War, Australian veterans and their families reveal the experience of combat and how it has changed their lives. These stark first-hand accounts describe the reality of military action and its personal consequences in every major conflict and peacemaking mission since World War II, including the invasion of Iraq.Sometimes the reader is in lockstep with a soldier on patrol, watching as a land mine explodes, or a local militiaman points an AK-47 at Australian peacemakers. Other times, the reader is inside a returned veteran's head, feeling their superfluous adrenalin, their need to control their environment, even at home.With accounts from Peter and Lynne Cosgrove, Graham Edwards, Frank Hunt (I Was Only Nineteen), other veterans of Vietnam, Glenda Humes (daughter of Capt Reginald Saunders), peacemakers and an SAS trooper, this compelling investigation by Gina Lennox in underpinned by the question- where does family fit in a soldier's life? Opening with an account of an SAS veteran's involvement in the 2002 Afghanistan conflict and the subsequent invasion of Iraq, then broadening out through earlier conflicts, Lennox's book touches the core of meaning in every major war Australians have served in since World War II and several peace-keeping missions too.
