A Very Private War - Hardcover
This is a work of fiction, though it deals with an actual organization of Coastwatchers who remained on Pacific Islands after they were invaded by Japanese forces. They radioed vital information to the Allies about Japanese activities. The Japanese, aware of their radio activity, hunted them over mountains and through jungles. This is a fast moving story of World War II.
