VOICES OF WAR is a unique book - a collection of stories of the experience of war, told by those who were there. They are fresh, often raw and emotional, always gripping. Drawn 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 are unbelievably, unbearably tragic, even after sixty or seventy years - others are the golden memories of happy, albeit unusual, times. And, more often than not, they are stories which have not before been shared with others - even family members. There are stories from winners of the VC; 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. They are stories of ordinary Australians caught up by circumstances and by duty, in wartime. Here are their words, their telling of how they answered when ruthless questions were hurled at them.

Lyn Smith's Young Voices is a poignant and compelling look at children's lives in Britain during the Second World War. During the Second World War, British children were spared the humiliation and fear of enemy occupation. None the less, they endured six years of increasing deprivation, uprootings, and long separations, and many experienced both physical and psychological suffering. They witnessed and endured intense air raids, both by conventional bombing and by the new terror weapons of V1s and V2s. Many were exposed to sights of injury, death and destruction, and at a very young age were forced to cope with the loss of friends and family at a time when counselling was unheard of. For nearly thirty years, Lyn Smith has been recording the experiences of those who were children during the war. Through the richly diverse voices and writings of over one hundred contributors, covering a wide geographical area that goes beyond the home front, Lyn Smith has written a powerful oral history of the war as seen from a child's perspective. 'What makes these accounts so compelling is that children's experiences have in their telling a particular immediacy... a vivid and moving collection.' New Statesman Lyn Smith has worked regularly as an oral history interviewer for the Imperial War Museum's Sound Archive for nearly 30 years. Using her own important contribution to the public archive, she has researched and written several books, including Forgotten Voices of the Holocaust and Pacifists in Action. She is also a lecturer in International Politics and International Affairs, and teaches at Regents College in London and at Webster University in St Louis, USA. Lyn Smith lives in Lewes, East Sussex.

Society of School Librarians International Honor Book Deborah Ellis has been widely praised for her gripping books portraying the plight of children in war-torn countries. Now she turns her attention closer to home, to the children whose parents are soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. In frank and revealing interviews, they talk about how this experience has marked and shaped their lives.The children, who range in age from 7 to 17, come from all over North America. They were interviewed on military bases, in the streets, in their homes and over the phone. The strength of Off to War is that the children are left to speak for themselves, with little editorial interference beyond a brief introduction. Includes a glossary, a list of organizations and websites and suggestions for further reading.

Ce second ouvrage de la collection Paroles de Femmes du CRINI (Centre de Recherche sur les Identités Nationales et l'Interculturalité) se concentre sur la première guerre mondiale et sur les paroles des actrices de cette épopée humaine qui a précipité brutalement l'Europe, puis le reste du monde, dans le 20e siècle. A partir de l'analyse de paroles de femmes dans la première guerre mondiale, à travers journaux intimes ou témoignages oraux, les chercheurs montrent qu'elles commencent à percevoir leur identité de manière collective, en développant une certaine conscience féminine, voire féministe. Cette période n'était qu'une parenthèse durant laquelle les femmes ont-été sollicitées en tant que citoyennes, sans que leur citoyenneté ne soit clairement acquise ou que l'égalité entre les sexes ne soit discutée par ailleurs, une fois les fronts terminés. Malgré tout, les femmes parlent de ce moment-clef, de leur engagement pour la cause nationale, de l'enthousiasme de ce collectif de femmes, comme d'un changement radical dans leur manière de concevoir leur identité et leurs valeurs intrinsèques. A travers les articles présentés dans cet ouvrage, qui analysent la position des femmes, vues par elles-mêmes, dans les pays d'Europe, il se dégage une forme de conscience féminine collective au sortir de la guerre qui permettra aux femmes de se former en groupes de citoyennes dans les décennies suivantes, pour obtenir la reconnaissance de leurs droits civiques. Les chercheurs qui ont contribué à ce volume sont des spécialistes de la première guerre mondiale et de l'histoire des femmes dans leur pays, dans les domaines de l'histoire, sociologie ou littérature

Voices of the Vietnam War is an oral history told by the soldiers who fought, and others who were impacted by the fighting halfway around the world, most especially the wives and siblings who waited at home. This book listens to two people who were against the war and had to take their own philosophical stand, often against their own families and friends. The book features chapters personally written by three military veterans. Two wives tell the story of how they waited at home while their husbands fought in Vietnam, relying on letters and television news for information.Decorated combat officer David Christian is the strongest voice in the book, describing his unit's war experiences and then detailing the loss of his brother Doug to Agent Orange-linked cancer. Christian became a leading advocate for veterans' disability pensions and helped gain government approval for Agent Orange benefits.Vietnam War veteran Terry Nau wrote and edited this book, his fifth on the subject. He interviewed soldiers from his artillery unit, high school friends who went to war, and also convinced acquaintances to tell their own story in their own words.

'The Gestapo kept me three days in this interrogation house. They especially wanted to know what I did after my escape, and precise things on the organisation of the SOE. And just for fun I suspect, because I had really not much to tell them, they pulled one of my toenails out...' - Robert Sheppard, SOE agent The Special Operations Executive (SOE) was a secret British organisation created early in World War 2 to encourage resistance and carry out sabotage behind enemy lines: in Winston Churchill's famous phrase, to 'set Europe ablaze'. Drawing on the vast resources of the Imperial War Museum Sound Archive and featuring a mass of previously unpublished personal testimonies, Forgotten Voices of the Secret War tells the stories of SOE agents, HQ staff, diplomats, aircrew and naval personnel in their own words. As the war unfolds, we learn of parachute drops into enemy territory, torture by the Gestapo and nerve-wracking sabotage missions in far-flung climes. Forgotten Voices of the Secret War is both an incredible account of espionage during World War 2 and a fitting testament to the efforts and sacrifices of a dedicated group of courageous men and women.
