The Only War We've Got - 12 March 2012

Peter Grose. For Australians, wars are fought in that mysterious land called "overseas". Few Australians are aware of the bitter battles on their own soil. There were 97 Japanese air raids on Northern Australia, including Darwin, which remains the worlst single event in Australian history with as many as 300 dead. A midget submarine attack inside Sydney Harbour led to 21 Allied sailors killed. Sydney and Newcastle were shelled. Peter Grose, author of 'An Awkward Truth' and 'A Very Rude Awakening', talks about the only war that is truly ours.
