4.9/5 (21389 ratings)

Description:A masterful account of Australia’s Pacific War and our struggle for survival – from the home front to the battlefields, and from mobilising every resource to defeat the Japanese to standing up for our rights against Churchill and Roosevelt.In the dark days following the 1941 fall of Singapore, Australia found itself centre stage in the Pacific conflict with the victorious Japanese army at its doorstep. Churchill was demanding our troops stay in North Africa and Greece, and Roosevelt was calling for them to fight the Japanese in Burma, while Curtin desperately wanted them to return home to defend their countrymen. Australia had never been more alone.In Pacific 360° the story unfolds from all perspectives. It takes you inside the horror of Australian POW camps in Changi, along the Thai–Burma Railway and into the muddy hell of the Kokoda Track; it looks behind the scenes at the mobilising on the home front and reveals the plans of some in the Japanese High Command to invade Australia; it delves into the relationship between the Australian government and General Douglas MacArthur and uncovers the tensions and delights caused by the presence of the million US servicemen stationed here.Master storyteller Roland Perry deftly captures the drama of the Australian government’s political and military struggle with allies and enemies alike, and the personal impact it had on our soldiers and their families. This is an intensely revealing account of Australia’s role in the Pacific War – one which would establish it as a nation ready to fight to the death to defend what was theirs, and which would see Australia recognised on the world stage.Roland Perry is also author of THE AUSTRALIAN LIGHT HORSE and THE CHANGI BROWNLOW.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
