Beschrijving

In 1932, Australia deployed soldiers armed with machine guns to fight an invasion of 20,000 emus destroying farmland in Western Australia. What sounds like a joke became one of history's most embarrassing military operations, complete with tactical retreats, media mockery, and the emus decisively winning. Discover how flightless birds defeated the Australian army and became legendary guerrilla fighters.
