Description
Australians fought in every theatre of war in World War II. So high was their involvement that by 1943 more than 15 per cent of Australia's population was serving in the armed forces. In this day-by-day record, we see how the war escalated and how the commitment of Australian forces increased. All the land battles in which Australian troops took part are covered, from the Libyan campaign in 1940-41 to Balikpapanin in 1945. The wide-ranging operations of the Royal Australian Navy in every theatre of maritime conflict are detailed - in the Arctic, Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans and the North, Mediterranean, Aegean, Caribbean and Red Seas.
