Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Kokoda Trail is part of Australian military folklore.During July to September 1942 the Japanese set about the capture of Port Moresby by an overland crossing of the Owen Stanley Range, and a landing in Milne Bay. To oppose a force of 10,000 crack Japanese troops on the Kokoda Trail, the Allies committed one under-trained and poorly-equipped unit - the 39th Battalion, later reinforced by Veterans of the 21st Brigade, 7th Division AIF. These were then men of Maroubra Force.The Australians put up a desperate fight. They withdrew village by village, forcing the Japanese to fight for every inch of ground. Finally at Ioribaiwa, the Japanese turned away, beaten and exhausted. The Australian soldiers' reward for their remarkable achievement was denigration by the High Command - General Blamey called them 'running rabbits'.Then in December 1942 when the fighting at the beachheads had produced little success, the former members of Maroubra Force captured Gona after heavy fighting - but at tragic cost.Those Ragged Bloody Heroes is the story of those battles told as never before, through the eyes of the Australian soldiers who fought there. It is a story that raises serious questions about the planning and command of the Kokoda and Gona campaigns.Those Ragged Bloody Heroes is a stirring history of triumph, tragedy and controversy set in the mud and steaming jungle of the Kokoda Trail and the fireswept beaches at Gona.'This book is a.valuable contribution to the record of Australian military history.' - Sir Donald Dunstan 'A triumphant book that is a memorial to men whose sacrifice in the courageous defence of their country must never be forgotten.' - William Noonan The definitive, bestselling account of the Australians on the Kokoda Trail - a story told through the eyes of the Australians who fought there.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Between 1946 and 1966 large numbers of displaced persons (DPs) came to Australia to escape the horrors of war-torn Europe. Peter Brunes latest work had its genesis in more than 40 interviews he conducted with DPs in the period 20012022. He spoke to migrants from Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Greece and Hungary. Inspired by their resilience, their enterprise and their determination to make a new life for themselves in Australia, the author has written about their harrowing war experiences-drawing largely on their own words-their reception in Australia and their first responses to an alien culture. Their subsequent reflections on the journeys they undertook and how they fared here are both moving and revelatory. Peter also analyses the Chifley governments immigration policies, which were driven by Arthur Calwell, and the selection criteria that were applied to assess applicants. Both Chifley and Calwell saw the need for a greater population for economic and security reasons; but they also felt an obligation to alleviate the deprivations suffered by millions of Europeans. This book is an extraordinary exposition of how mass postwar immigration created the modern, multicultural society in which we now live. Peter makes the case that it is one of the most significant periods in the Australian story.a compelling narrative that offers an in-depth exploration of the experiences of displaced persons (DPs) in Australia after World War II both enlightening and thought-provoking.Zoe Rogers Deeply touching and enlightening, Suffering, Redemption, and Triumph is more than just a historical account, it's a lesson in humanity and the enduring impact of wars. It's a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the true consequences of conflict and the power of compassion and unity in shaping a nation. Highly recommended. Andrew Carpenter Peter Brune is an excellent historian, unravelling facts about the post-war dissemination of European immigrants by sharing individual reports, related in a conversational manner that makes the plight of the immigrants both credible and emotionally charged moving and instructive, this is a book for all readers curious about the true aftermath of wars. Highly recommended Grady Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: New. Since Barry Stroud's classic paper in 1968, the general discussion on transcendental arguments tends to focus on examples from theoretical philosophy. It also tends to be pessimistic, or at least extremely reluctant, about the potential of this kind of arguments. Nevertheless, transcendental reasoning continues to play a prominent role in some recent approaches to moral philosophy. Moreover, some authors argue that transcendental arguments may be more promising in moral philosophy than they are in theoretical contexts. Against this background, the current volume focuses on transcendental arguments in practical philosophy. Experts from different countries and branches of philosophy share their views about whether there are actually differences between "theoretical" and "practical" uses of transcendental arguments. They examine and compare different versions of transcendental arguments in moral philosophy, explain their structure, and assess their respective problems and promises. This book offers all those interested in ethics, meta-ethics, or epistemology a more comprehensive understanding of transcendental arguments. It also provides them with new insights into uses of transcendental reasoning in moral philosophy.
