Publisher Description

For Australians, Kokoda is the iconic battle of World War II, yet few people know just what happened and just what our troops achieved. Now, best-selling author Peter FitzSimons tells the Kokoda story in a gripping, moving story for all Australians.

Conditions on the track were hellish - rain was constant, the terrain close to inhospitable, food and ammunition supplies were practically non-existent, and the men constantly battled malaria and dysentery, as well as the Japanese. Kokoda was a defining battle for Australia - a small force of young, ill-equipped Australians engaged a highly experienced and hitherto unstoppable Japanese force on a narrow, precarious jungle track - and defeated them.

"Peter has written about one of the greatest AIF battles and the people in it. A must read for anyone wanting to understand Australian values and beating the odds."

    " Seemed like one of those self help books that stretched a simple concept into a full book. Some informality in the writing seemed disingenous... like aren't I the cook writer to use slang. Aussie rah-rah is a bit much at times. "
