Sebastian Junger

From the author of
The Perfect Storm
, a gripping book about Sebastian Junger's almost-fatal year with the 2nd battalion of the American Army. They were known as 'The Rock'. For one year, in 2007-2008, Sebastian Junger accompanied a single platoon of thirty men from the storied 2nd battalion of the U.S. Army, as they fought their way through a remote valley in Eastern Afghanistan. Over the course of five trips, Junger was in more firefights than he can count, men he knew were killed or wounded, and he himself was almost killed. His relationship with these soldiers grew so close that they considered him part of the platoon, and he enjoyed an access and a candidness that few, if any, journalists ever attain. War is a narrative about combat: the fear of dying, the trauma of killing and the love between platoon-mates who would rather die than let each other down. Gripping, honest, intense,

These two volumes bring together "many fragments of history, commencing with the POW's experiences at Prison Camp 57, Gruppignano".
Before the Italian Armistace of September 1943, thousands of Kiwi and Australian soldiers were held in POW camps in Northern Italy.
This is a detailed and fascinating account of the ANZAC involvement in WW2 in Northern Italy.
What happened in northern Italy over the years from 1941 to 1945 affected the lives of thousands of New Zealand and Australian servicemen, caught up in the maelstrom of events that were taking place in the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations. Ken Fenton has been able to draw on many recollections of Anzac ex-servicemen, along with his personal knowledge of northern Italy during World War 2, as a young soldier with the 2nd NZ Division. His two volumes give a detailed insight into the varied fortunes of those initially imprisoned, and into how escapers from among them ...

Ken Fenton has been able to draw on many recollections of Anzac ex-servicemen, along with his personal knowledge of northern Italy during World War 2, as a young soldier with the 2nd NZ Division. His two volumes give a detailed insight into the varied fortunes of those initially imprisoned, and into how escapers from among them later coped with the exigencies of war-torn Italy. They were confronted by many difficult situations resulting from the actions of the warring regimes. Before the Italian Armistice of September 1943, thousands of Aussies and Kiwis were held in the prisoner of war camps of northern Italy, particularly in the notorious Campo 57 at Gruppignano. There the physical and mental ...

Between America's retreat from China in late November 1941 and the moment General MacArthur's airplane touched down on the Japanese mainland in August 1945, five men connected by happenstance fought the key battles of the war against Japan.
In The Pacific, Hugh Ambrose focuses on the real-life stories of these five men, who put their lives on the line for their country. The book is published to coincide with the broadcast of the brand new HBO miniseries The Pacific on Australia's Channel 7 in April 2010, executive produced by Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and Gary Goetzman - the producers of the Emmy-winning 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers.
First published 2010.

The Battle of El Alamein was Churchill's
'end of the beginning'
of the Second World War. Until this point in 1942, the Allies were struggling against the might of the German army and the assembled Axis powers. The war looked hopeless.
But the battle of El Alamein would change everything.
A bloody, messy battle, it would cost the lives of 70,000 men. But it was a battle where the Allied forces, made up of British, Australian, New Zealand, South African and Indian troops, fought to the very end in a furious attack on the enemy. It was a decisive victory.
Indeed, Churchill stated that
'Before Alamein, we had no victory and after it we had no defeats.'
Iain Gale, author of the outstanding historical novel
Four Days in June
on the battle of Waterloo, tells the dramatic story through seven characters, almost all based on real people.
Drawn from both sides of the conflict, they include a major from a ...

Backwater War

Paperback

Edwin P. Hoyt

A year before the much-heralded second front was opened in Normandy in 1944, the Allies waged a campaign in Sicily and Italy - an assault that was marked by intra-Allied argument and dissent from beginning to end. Winston Churchill favoured scrapping the Normandy invasion entirely while focusing on Europe's soft underbelly while the Americans rejected any plan that relied solely on a southern option. This is the story of the backwater war that resulted, a fierce, drawn-out campaign that began with the invasion of Sicily, continued with the landings at Salerno and Anzio in Italy, and included the controversial bombing of Monte Cassino.
