Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Harry Gailey's account of the battles in eastern Papua New Guinea covers the whole period from the Japanese invasion to the Kokoda trail and the Allied counteroffensive up to the fall of Buna - Sanananda fortified area, with many details of the battles, very good maps and no errors. The book is easily read and the commanders' decisions are analysed in depth.
