Viking / Penguin Australia, 2004. Hardcover in Dustjacket. FINE. Brings together the first-hand accounts of more than seventy-five ordinary things during World War II. Prisoners of war, airmen, nurses, land girls, internees, schoolchildren, soldiers, sailors, and volunteers of every description share their memories of a time of horror, tragedy, love and excitement. Australians took part in every arena of the war, and these moving accounts include memories of the campaigns in Europe and Africa; the battles for the Kokoda Trail, New Guinea and the islands; the internment camps of South-East Asia; and the notorious Burma-Thailand Railway. Also included are stories from the men and women who kept things working and supported the war on the home front. This is a remarkable portrait of men, women and children at war.
