Fear Drive My Feet is Peter Ryan's enduring account of his time patrolling isolated regions of New Guinea during World War II.

Far from his fellow Australians and with Japanese forces closing in around him, the eighteen-year-old Ryan endures the hardships of the jungle, overcoming loneliness, fatigue and fear with quiet courage.

He finds beauty in New Guinea's rugged mountain landscapes and admires its people's charm and resourcefulness.

Fear Drive My Feet is a classic memoir of the war in the Pacific, a major work of Australian war literature. (Trove)
