The Battle for Wau brings together for the first time the full
story of the early World War II conflicts in New Guinea, from the
landing of the Japanese at Salamaua in March 1942 to their defeat
at Wau in February 1943. Phillip Bradley draws on the recollections
of over 70 veterans from the campaign and on his own first-hand
knowledge of the region. Beginning with the early commando
operations in Salamaua, the story unfolds with the burning of Wau,
the clashes around Mubo, the Japanese convoy to Lae and the United
States air operation to Wau. The book climaxes with the fortitude
of Captain Sherlock's outnumbered company. Desperately fighting an
enemy regiment debouching from the rugged unguarded ranges to the
east, Sherlock's men fought to hold Wau airfield open for the
arrival of vital reinforcements.
