chose the path that led, ultimately, to its own destruction. Heinz Magenheimer examines in detail the options that were open to the Germans as the war progressed. He identifies the crucial moments at which fateful decisions needed to be taken and considers how decisions different from those actually taken could have propelled the conflict in entirely different directions. Using the very latest source material, in particular new research from Soviet/Russian sources, the author analyses motives and objectives and considers the opportunities taken or rejected, concentrating especially on specific phases of the conflict.By Ken Mellor, Elizabeth Mellor. 2004

New evidence explains Australia’s most infamous day. The Imperial Japanese Navy bombers that attacked Pearl Harbour on December 7th 1941…
blitzed Darwin on February 19th 1942. As Australia defended her mainland for the first time the only ally standing with her was the United States of America. On that day, Americans and Australians were forged as cousins-in-arms. Darwin’s airfield, town and harbour were repeatedly bombed leaving a trail of human tragedy. Typical of the many heroes were Wing Commander Archie Tindal RAAF Base, Lieutenant Robert Oestreicher Kittyhawk ace, Jack Mullholland anti-aircraft gunner, Matron Clara Schumack hospital ship and Coxswain John Waldie life-saver. The writer weaves historical facts into story lines with real time action sequences. Where the story varies from historic opinion, forensic reasons are revealed for differing views, and the reader’s judgement is invited. Examples are the role of spies, withholding the air raid warning, attacked hospitals, interpretation of information and subtleties of the Japanese attack plan. Action-thriller 'Japanese blitz on Darwin', by Cambridge Short Story scholar John Thompson-Gray is a story of the first Darwin Defenders and those who bombed and strafed them.By John Malcolm Russell. 1991

Sit down and strap yourself in for an exhilarating ride to the sound barrier and beyond with a Mac Tucker, an Australian fighter pilot and real life Top GunBy Arthur Bancroft, John Frank Harman. 2010
In November 1940, Arthur Bancroft kissed his sweetheart, Mirla, goodbye and signed up with the Royal Australian Navy to go…
to war. He was nineteen years old. Arthur's War is the extraordinary story of his ordeal, and his survival. Arthur made a habit of cheating death - on the ill-fated HMAS Perth, which was sunk during the Battle of the Sunda Strait; as a prisoner of war on the notorious Burma-Thailand Railway, where it is said a man died for every sleeper laid; and miraculously surviving a second shipwreck that left him lost at sea, clinging to debris, for six days. While a POW he risked his life to keep a secret diary written on paper scraps with stolen pencils recording the agony and comradeship of life on the railway, which has never before been published. Against all odds Arthur made it back to Australia and to Mirla, who never lost hope for his eventual return all those years he was lost at war. His story is a story for all Australians: a captivating saga of courage, mateship, survival - and love.By Jean Scott. 1995
