Mat McLachlan brings you the history of the Battle of Montbrehain, the last Australian battle on the Western Front, which took place a century ago this week.

A revisit of an episode from earlier in the season, when historian Peter Hart joined us to discuss his lifetime's work of interviewing veterans from the First and Second World Wars.

Mat interviews Imperial War Musuem historian Peter Hart about the closing days of the First World War, and the crucial role played by Australian, British and American troops in defeating the German Army.

Mat interviews French journalist Jean-Christophe Brisard about his work exploring Russian archives for evidence about the fate of Adolf Hitler. Over the course of several years, Jean-Christophe received unprecedented access to records, photographs and witness accounts that paint a vivid picture of Hitler's final days. And in a confronting twist, Brisard discovered samples of human remains that prove conclusively that Adolf Hitler died in Berlin in April 1945.

Mat interviews historian Tom Richardson about Australian military operations away from the front line, as explored in his new book 'Beyond Combat'.

Mat interviews author Emma Campbell about her new book, 'The Last Post', which details both the history of this iconic bugle call and its roll in the daily commemorative service at the Australian War Memorial. The book also brings to life the story of many of the Australian men and women who were killed during wartime, and whose names on the Roll of Honour form the backdrop to the service at the War Memorial.

Mat interviews Professor Jane Lydon about her new book, 'Remembering the Myall Creek Massacre', which sheds new light on one of the most infamous chapters of Australian colonial history.

Mat speaks to veteran Australian actor Peter Phelps about his new book, 'The Bulldog Track'. The books tells the story of Peter's grandfather, who endured a torturous trek along a track even longer and tougher than Kokoda, to escape the advancing Japanese in 1942.

Mat interviews Alan Jeffreys, WW2 curator at the Imperial War Museum, about his new book London at War.

Mat interviews Dr Jay Ludowyke about her new book, 'Carpathia', which tells the intriguing story of the ship that rescued the Titanic survivors.
