Hall Timothy DARWIN 1942: AUSTRALIA'S DARKEST HOUR
Methuen 1980 0454002521 / 9780454002522 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Very Good condition. "On Wednesday 18 February 1942 the Japanese air force bombed Darwin. This fact is known to most Australians, but very few know exactly how it happened. The War Cabinet immediately ordered a news black-out, and the propoganda they released at the time has since become part of our verbal history. But the sequence of events in Darwin that day certainly did not reflect the military honour that the War Cabinet wished us to believe. On the contrary, for what really happened was a combination of chaos, panic, and, in many cases, cowardice on an unprecedented scale."
