New Guinea 1942-44
1981.
Methuen Australia
, Sydney, Australia
This is the factual, non sensational, unemotional appropriate book to learn about the New Guinea battles in WWII. It is not simply about the heroic Australian fighting retreat then counterattack along the Kokoda track but about the entire battlefield with the American involvement and details of the Japanese efforts in detail as well. With many excellent black and white photographs throughout that rarely see the light of day;so for students of WWII this is the 'real deal' by a great freelance journalist and multi-book author.

Condition Report
| Cover | Excellent Condition - The boards are covered in black cloth with a gold title on the very sound spine showing trivial bumping and fraying to all corners and the spine edges. The dustwrapper has suffered an unusual accident with a sharp blade and the closed cut is professionally repaired with the correct tape on the front cover verso so the fault is all but invisible and the wrapper is protected by removable clear archival covering now too.- With Dust Wrapper |
| Overall | Excellent Condition - Near faultless internally, the book is certainly without any prior owner notations or page damage or foxing either. There are excellent map endpapers at both front and rear as well |
