Sinopsis
The first foreign assault on Australian soil since 1788, the bombing of Darwin was a battle Australia would rather forget. In An Awkward Truth, Peter Grose tells the real story of the attack and takes us into the lives of the people who were there. Bigger than the first wave that attacked Pearl Harbor, hundreds of Australians were killed and the people of Darwin abandoned their town, leaving it to looters and a motley bunch of dogged defenders with single-shot .303 rifles and a few anti-aircraft batteries.
