Australia 1944-45: Victory in the Pacific

This thoroughly researched collection of essays from a team of internationally regarded military historians provides the compelling final instalment to Peter Dean’s Pacific War series, where it examines the importance of 1944 and 1945 to Australia’s strategic development. The collection considers how importance of the preceding years in 1942 and 1943 and revisits the home front, but its focus remains the complex and fascinating period of Australian, Allied, and Japanese strategies and campaigns in the Southwest Pacific theatre and Australia’s pivotal role in achieving victory.
