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. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zAustralia 607 $aAustralia$2fast 607 $aAustralien$2gnd 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 676 $a940.5394 702 $aDean$b Peter J$g(Peter John),$f1974- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807496003321 996 $aAustralia 1942$93950449 997 $aUNINA
