Never before have Australia's fighting men and women talked so candidly about war so soon after the shooting stopped. This film draws on the raw experiences of our longest war - from private soldiers to prime ministers. In their
own words and through their own extraordinary helmet-cam battle footage, much of it never seen before, Australian warriors lay bare their hearts - not just about how they forght a war, but why and to what end. This is a forensic, impeccably researched series, based on interviews with decision makers, generals, 'grunts' and the Afghans with whom (and sometimes against whom) they fought, making an ambitious 'first draft of history' of a much-debated war.
