Hard cover dust wrapper 506pp mainly b&w plates. New copy. Companion Volume to 'Pacific Fury', this dramatically combines personal memories with compelling narrative of combat action, giving voice to the experiences of young Australians and New Zealanders who were sent on Churchill's orders from the victorious battlefields of Libya on a disastrous mission to Greece and Crete. In particular, the narrative follows three of the new Anzacs-Lieutenant Michael Clarke, Private John Peck and Sergeant Keith Hooper, in their adventures from the first shots in the Western Desert, through the battles of Greece and Crete, to captivity as prisoners of war and Germany's final surrender.

Hard cover dust wrapper, 706pp, b&w and colour plates. Light wear to edges of dw/boards. pages lightly browned; a very good copy. In three tumultuous years of WW2 HMAS Perth did battle with the forces of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, the Vichy French and, finally, the Imperial Japanese Navy. It was nearly lost in a hurricane in the Atlantic. In the Mediterranean in 1941 it was bombed by the Luftwaffe and the Italian Air Force for months on end until, ultimately, during the disastrous evacuation of the Australian army from Crete, the Perth took a direct hit and thirteen men were killed. After the fall of Singapore in 1942, HMAS Perth was hurled into the forlorn campaign to stem the Japanese advance towards Australia. Off the coast of Java in March that year she met an overwhelming enemy naval force. Firing until her ammunition literally ran out, she was sunk with the loss of 353 of her crew, including her much-loved captain and the Royal Australian Navy's finest fighting sailor, 'Hardover' Hec Waller. Another 328 men were taken into Japanese captivity, most to become slave labourers in the hell of the Burma-Thai railway. Many died there, victims of unspeakable atrocity. Only 218 men, less than a third of her crew, survived to return home at war's end. This is their story, and the story of those who loved them and waited for them.
