Description
"Java is heaven, Burma is hell, but you never come back alive from New Guinea" – Japanese military saying
The capture of Lae was the most complex operation for the Australian army in the Second World War. In many ways, it was also a rehearsal for the D-Day invasion of France, with an amphibious landing combined with the first successful large-scale Allied airborne operation of the war. D-Day New Guinea brings together the extraordinary stories of the Australian, American, and Japanese participants in this battle, and of the fight against the cloying jungle, the raging rivers, and the soaring mountain ranges that made New Guinea such a daunting battlefield.
Phillip Bradley brings a compelling clarity, humanity, and new insight into a little-known but crucial Australian battle of the Pacific War.
