Kokoda [Livre] / Peter Fitzsimons
Langue : anglais ; de l'oeuvre originale, anglais.Pays : Australie.Publication : Australia : Hachette Australia, 2005Description : 1 vol (506 p.) ; 19 cm.ISBN : 9780733619625.Classification : 994Résumé : 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, bestselling 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. 'an engrossing narrative, beautifully controlled by a master storyteller' - Sydney Morning Herald 'This reads like fiction, but it is all fact' - Lieutenant Allan 'Kanga' Moore, 39th Battalion .
