Customer Reviews
I appreciated the format
This was an excellent overview of Australia and New Zealand into The Great War. The background information gave great insight into the circumstances that lead up to how this catastrophe began through Common Wealth eyes.
Nice detail
Overall good podcast with nice detail. Format might be better as a narrative instead of an interview.
