The Battle for Wau (Australian Army History Series)

The Battle for Wau presents for the first time the full story of the early World War II conflicts in New Guinea, from the landing of the Japanese at Salamaua in March 1942 to their defeat at Wau in February 1943. Phillip Bradley draws on the recollections of over 70 veterans from the campaign and on his own first-hand knowledge of the region. The commanders, soldiers, carriers and airmen are all given a voice in this book, whether Australian, Japanese, American or New Guinean.
