Will Davies

Secret and Special (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In Secret & Special, historian Will Davies pushes, shoves and drags the reader through the steamy, swampy and secretive war fought by Australian special forces from 1942 until well after the official Japanese surrender in this anarchic archipelago. And fair enough too, because this is, and was, no stroll in the park.
Davies does a fine job of untangling not only the individual missions against a merciless enemy, but the ever-changing hierarchies and mission objectives these men were confronted with from on high.

He does a meticulous and riveting job of salvaging, from the dusty files of military secrecy, the remarkable experiences of those who made the grade, only to face the Japanese Imperial Army with little but a dodgy radio and small arms.
