Professor Tony Badger (Mellon Professor of History, Master of Clare College, University of Cambridge) explores the differing reactions to external threats to the homeland and why the war did not have the same generational impact in Australia as it did in the US, and assesses the long-term impact of the war on Australian perceptions of both Britain and the United States.

Introduced by Professor Timothy Minchin.
