About this product

Product Information

Bridget Goodwin's 'Keen as Mustard' documentary was televised on the eve of the Gulf War; a conflict notorious for Iraq's brutal use of chemical weapons. Till then, Australia's role in the development of such cruel warfare was little known. This extraordinary expose uncovers the extent of Britain's inhuman treatment of Australia soldiers as mustard gas guinea-pigs during World War 11. These top secret trials were conducted in North Queensland, with often shocking consequences for the hapless volunteers.As well as graphically revealing the first-hand experiences of many survivors, this story delves into the origins of chemical warfare. It treats the scientific culture of experimentation and the growing movement to ban such weapons after the terrible gas casualties on the Western Front.
