Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has stamped inside page. Dust jacket is in good condition with wear at edges and a small tear to tail back cover. Interior and binding are still excellent.

First published in 1966.

On 19 February 1942, the sleepy tropical town of Darwin became the target of the first-ever attack on Australia by a foreign power.

The unsuspecting township was almost defenceless in the face of frightening efficient air raids by the Japanese task force. Ships were sunk or beached, hundreds of people were wounded and killed, and much of the town was destroyed.

Douglas Lockwood, a newspaper correspondent in Darwin at the time, has painstakingly researched and reconstructed the events of that tragic day. He also probes the disturbing evidence that Darwin's civil and military authorities were disastrously unprepared for the Japanese attack.

Australia's Pearl Harbour is a compelling account by an outstanding writer of a day of devastation that has remained in Australia's memory as the moment when the Second World War came to the nation's shores. (back cover)
