A Complete Chronological Account of Australians in Action at Home and Overseas in World War II.

Australians fought in every theatre of war in World War II - more than 15 per cent of Australia's population, the greatest proportion of any of the Allied nations, served in the armed forces.

In this day-by-day record, we see how the war escalated and how the commitment of Australian forces increased. All the land battles in which Australian troops took part are covered, from the Libyan campaign in 1940-41 to Balikpapan in 1945. The wide-ranging operations of the Royal Australian Navy in every theatre of maritime conflict are detailed - in the Arctic, Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans and the North, Mediterranean, Aegean, Caribbean and Red Seas. The formation and significant operations of the RAAF squadrons are also chronicled, from the departure from Australia in 1939 of the men who would form the No. 10 Squadron in the UK, to the mustangs of No. 76 Squadron - the first "British" squadron in the occupation of Japan.

This book, illustrated with over 70 maps, is a thoroughly comprehensive account of Australia's involvement and a tribute to the individual men and women who served so selflessly.
