A Bastard of a Place

In 1942 and 1943 Papua New Guinea was a Bastard of a Place to fight a war. Peter Brune gives us an all-encompassing story of the five battles that changed Australia forever: Kokoda, Milne Bay, Gona, Buna and Sanananda. His narrative incorporates hundreds of interviews with the soldiers, official records, and a recent tour of the area.
