The fighting on the Kokoda Track in World War II is second only to
Gallipoli in the Australian national consciousness. The Kokoda
campaign of 1942 has taken on mythical status in Australian
military history. According to the legend, Australian soldiers were
vastly outnumbered by the Japanese, who suffered great losses in
battle and as a result of the harsh conditions of the Kokoda Track.
In this important book, Peter Williams seeks to dispel the Kokoda
myth. Using extensive research and Japanese sources, he explains
what really happened on the Kokoda Track in 1942. Unlike most other
books written from an Australian perspective, The Kokoda Campaign
1942: Myth and reality focuses on the strategies, tactics and
battle plans of the Japanese and shows that the Australians were in
fact rarely outnumbered. For the first time, this book combines
narrative with careful analysis to present an undistorted picture
of the events of the campaign. It is a must-read for anyone who is
interested in the truth of the Kokoda campaign of 1942.
