In 1942, the shadow of modern war reached Australia's shores for
the first time. In this compelling volume, leading historians
explore why 1942 was such a pivotal year in Australia's history,
and explain how the nation confronted some of its greatest
challenges. This broad ranging study covers key issues from
political, economic and home front reform to the establishment of a
new partnership with the United States; the role of the Air Force
and the Navy; the bombing of Darwin; as well as the battles of
Kokoda, Milne Bay, the Beachheads and Guadalcanal. Australia 1942
provides a unique and in-depth exploration of the controversy
surrounding the potential for invasion. Japanese and Australian
historians offer perspectives on Japanese military intentions and
strategies towards Australia and the south Pacific. Generously
illustrated, it is essential reading for anyone interested in one
of Australia's most decisive and critical years.
