'an engrossing narrative, beautifully controlled by a master storyteller' Michael McKernan, Sydney Morning Herald
The bestselling, acclaimed, authoritative account of one of the most famous battles in Australian military history - now established as a classic.
For Australians, Kokoda is the iconic battle of World War II, yet few people know just what happened - and just what our troops achieved. In his bestselling book, Peter FitzSimons tells the Kokoda story in his distinctive gripping style. Conditions on the track were hellish - rain was constant, the terrain close to inhospitable, food and ammunition supplies were practically non-existent and the men constantly battled malaria and dysentery, as well as the Japanese. Kokoda was a defining battle for Australia - a small force of young, ill-equipped Australians engaged a highly experienced and hitherto unstoppable Japanese force on a narrow, precarious jungle track - and defeated them.
