• Sommario/riassunto: Containing a unique account of Australia's World War II engagement in the Pacific and illustrated by arresting photographs, this laconic memoir roves across the 20th century. A remarkable story of travel, adventure and heroism, Ted Fulton prospected for gold, became a patrol officer and served during World War II. Ultimately finding fulfilment in the rugged beauty of Papua New Guinea — of which he writes with moving insight — the recollections of Ted Fulton are a compelling tribute to the spirit of adventure.
