'Without the generosity and encouragement of so many Koories this book would not have been possible. We travelled together recording stories from Aboriginal men and women who have served Australia in times of war' (from the authors).

'The stories are of Victorian Aboriginal people’s experiences in World War One, World War Two, Korea and Vietnam. There is a section on the soldiers of Lake Tyers Mission and information about the war work at Cummeragunga Mission. Also included is a list of Aboriginal servicemen and women provided to the authors. Many of the stories describe the different treatment of Aboriginal people during the war and after.'

The book describes at first hand the experiences of Aborigines living in Victoria. It contains individual stories of hardships and recalls of life on fringe camps, missions and reserves. These accounts are also about the loss of life and the determination of Aboriginal people to survive inhumane treatment and appalling conditions brought about by government legislation and lack of funding. The individual life experiences relive memories of work, crafts, the depression, mission life, building humpies and the forced removal of children. There are individual stories of hope, family reunions and community working together in order to build a better future.
