Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minimal edgewear.

On the night of 31st May 1942, three Japanese midget submarines crept into Sydney Harbour, past eight electronic indicator loops and an anti-submarine net. Their arrival triggered a night of mayhem, courage and high farce, which left 27 sailors dead and Australia bewildered. Written at the pace of a thriller, Grose has used first-person accounts and previously unpublished official documents.
