Australia in the War of 1939-1945 Vol. V - Dudley McCarthy - Bog

Bag om Australia in the War of 1939-1945 Vol. V

This volume describes the fighting on land in the South-West Pacific from mid-1942 to March 1943, including the critical operations in the Owen Stanley mountains, at Milne Bay and round Buna, Gona and Sanananda. It tells how Australian troops stemmed the advance of the hitherto-victorious Japanese, and, with American help, destroyed two-thirds of their force and drove the remainder out ot Papua. The Japanese story is told side by side with the Allied one, and it is now shown that the Japanese forces involved were considerably larger (but their losses somewhat lighter) than was thought at the time.
