Softcover. Condition: FINE. AUSTRALIAN MILITARY HISTORY -Â1942 was the year of Australia's greatest peril as the nation awaited invasion from Japan. Darwin was devastated by bombing, Australian ships were torpedoed within sight of our coast, midget Japanese submarines attacked shipping in Sydney Harbour and Japanese forces on th…eir inexorable march south invaded New Guinea and islands to Australia's near north. This is a true story of the genuine and imminent threat to Australia in that fateful year. On the beautiful inland Sea of Japan - the heartland of the Imperial Japanese Navy - and in frenetic wartime Tokyo, radical and passionate staff officers and their illogical admirals debated the invasion of an almost defenceless nation. The Imperial Japanese Army, meanwhile, opposed the attack, foreseeing a looming military quagmire. Behind the scenes, Australian, British and American defence chiefs all but dismissed the chances of holding Darwin and the north. Australia's fate hung in the balance. 1942 is a story of desperate bravery and criminal stupidity. Most of all, it is the story of Australians left high and dry in those first few months of 1942, under the looming shadow of invasion, and the steps that an inexperienced leader, John Curtin, took to help save his country in its darkest days.

The year 1942 was a critical moment in Australia's history, often referred to as its greatest peril. During this time, Australia faced a genuine and terrifying threat from the Imperial Japanese Navy, which had already launched devastating attacks on Darwin, torpedoed Australian ships near the coast, and sent midget submarines into Sydney Harbour. The Japanese army also invaded New Guinea, pushing southward toward Australia. There was intense debate within Japan about whether to invade Australia, with the Imperial Japanese Army opposing the attack, fearing it would become a military quagmire. Meanwhile, John Curtin, Australia's Prime Minister, had to make critical decisions to protect the country in its darkest days. This period was marked by desperate bravery and strategic missteps, as Australia scrambled to defend itself against an invasion that never came but remained a looming possibility. If you're interested in a deeper dive, you might want to check out Bob Wurth's book on the subject. See photo for more information or contact via email or call.
