Publisher's Synopsis
With the outbreak of the Second World War, a new breed of reporters joined the ranks of war correspondents - and through the reach and power of radio Australians back home heard their voices and their stories shaped from the sounds of battle, out of the white noise of the either. Australian forces defended the long shoreline against the threat of invasion and more than 500,000 Australians went into battle overseas. The fought on the dusty soil of the Middle East and North Africa, in the snow-topped hills of Greece, on the beaches of the Pacific and in the sweltering jungles of Malaya and New Guinea. And the first ABC correspondents were on the frontlines with them.
