He made me completely rethink the Papua campaign in his Command in Crisis. I think it's his depth of research, his notes to the rear are like another book

An awesome trip that was.
It took a while to get into his style of semi fictional writing for the first book as he tried to tell the ship/crew story but the second was just a story of his survival

In for a treat when you read the trilogy. Was that a lifeline find too?

A slim volume but a fascinating study of the performance of 3 Australian Battalions under the stresses of jungle warfare on Bougainville. #hisbookchat

Sorry for your loss mate, you have such a different relationship with them when they get older which makes it so tough.

#histbookchat using cabinet papers in the Australian National Archives the author examines key points of the Australian war effort. As with all David Horner's books it's a good read.

#histbookchat A memoir from a member of the Australian Army Service Corps, Peter's book is beautifully written with an eye for army life.
