Fighting The Enemy, first published in 2000, is about men with the
job of killing each other. Based on the wartime writings of
hundreds of Australian front-line soldiers during World War II,
this powerful and resonant book contains many moving descriptions
of high emotion and drama. Soldiers' interactions with their
enemies are central to war and their attitudes to their adversaries
are crucial to the way wars are fought. Yet few books look in
detail at how enemies interpret each other. This book is an
unprecedented and thorough examination of the way Australian combat
soldiers interacted with troops from the four powers engaged in
World War II: Germany, Italy, Vichy France and Japan. Each opponent
has themes peculiar to it: the Italians were much ridiculed; the
Germans were the most respected of enemies; the Vichy French were
regarded with ambivalence; while the Japanese were the subject of
much hostility, intensified by the real threat of occupation.
