The Great Betrayal: Britain, Australia and the Onset of the Pacific War 1939–42 by David Day

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Minor marks on foredges. Some creasing to spine.

This compelling and controversial book reveals how, in 1942, Churchill, in an attempt to delay an attack on India, left Australia at the mercy of the Japanese by trying to prevent American forces from being sent to the Pacific. Drawing on a wealth of sources, including many previously unavailable to historians, David Day exposes a saga of empty promises and asks serious questions about the past and future relationship between Britain and Australia.
