Hutchinson of Australia, Milsons Point, Sydney - ISBN:0091826411, 1991. hardcover, 5¾" x 8¾", with dust jacket. Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers and barcode cut from front endpaper. GOOD book in GOOD unclipped dust jacket. The Kokoda campaign of 1942 is one of the classic battles in Australian military history, and has taken its place alongside the landing at Gallipoli, the charge at Beersheba, and the defence of Tobruk. It was also the first time that Australians fought to defend their homeland against direct threat, without the protection of great and powerful friends. Lex McAulay here tells the complete story from the beginning (including the Japanese campaign in some detail). Complete with photos, map, appendices, footnotes, bibliography and index.
