In 1942, Australia faces its darkest days of the Second World War. Darwin is bombed, Japanese submarines attack Sydney Harbour, Australian ships are sunk close to home, and Japanese forces advance through New Guinea. As the threat of an invasion becomes a terrifying possibility, Australia’s leaders struggle to defend a nation that is dangerously unprepared. Drawing on Japanese and Australian sources, Bob Wurth follows the events of this pivotal year and the decisions that shaped Australia’s survival during the Pacific War.
