Description
Darwin 1942: The Japanese Attack on Australia In February 1942, Japan launched a surprise attack on the Australian port of Darwin, just eleven weeks after the devastating raids on Pearl Harbor. This little-known yet pivotal event in World War II history is now fully illustrated and detailed. The book examines what happened on that dramatic day, using contemporary photographs, maps, and profiles of the commanders and machines involved in the assault. Published 75 years after the attack, this study sheds new light on a significant moment in Australian and world history.
