Secondhand. Good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Scratch to tail left corner of back cover. Interior and binding are still excellent.
A dark secret lurked aboard HMAS Australia, the flagship of the Royal Australian Navy. In 1942, with a Japanese invasion looming, those aboard the ship were shocked and completely unprepared to deal with the brutal murder of a young sailor by two shipmates who were allegedly part of a homosexual group on the flagship.
A swift military investigation and court-martial were conducted. The officers faced a difficult, almost impossible task. How were they to prove the guilt of sailors accused of murdering a shipmate without exposing the motive for the crime, which would unleash embarrassing propaganda onto the world for the enemy to exploit?
This would prove to be one of the most controversial events in the history of the Royal Australian Navy and trigger unprecedented legal and political events. (publisher blurb)
