| Summary: |
"Throughout most of 1942, the Australian army fought a series of commando actions to keep the Japanese at bay in the Wau - Salamaua area of New guinea. Australian commando operations against salamaua in June 1942 is still considered to be the 'perfect raid'. Following other commando actions at Mubo, the Japanese reinforced their troops at Salamaua in January 1943, and conducted a daring operation to capture Wau". Based on a detailed analysis of the battlefield, this book outlines how the victory was achieved and demonstrates how determined leadership can turn the tide of battle. |
