Australia lost its innocence in 1942. Japan had conquered Asia and the Pacific, and were at our doorstep. Our finest troops were fighting in the Middle East. All that stood between the Japanese onslaught and our homeland was a handful of 18-year-old militia troops who had never fired a shot in anger.

Told through the eyes of the Diggers who fought on the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea, 'The Spirit Of Kokoda' is the inspirational story of how those young men and the AIF veterans repelled the hitherto unchecked Japanese war machine. More than that, it is an exploration of the spirit that enabled the Diggers to prevail against overwhelming odds.

You'll learn what compelled these men who saved Australia to push their boundaries of endurance, courage and mateship to overcome a rampant enemy that outnumbered them six to one. Discover how they dealt with the lack of food, clothing and ammunitions; warded off disease; and traversed some of the toughest terrain in the world.

The spirit of those Diggers is still relevant today. You don't have to walk the Track to use the spirit of Kokoda in your daily life - this book shows how the lessons of the Diggers can help us overcome adversity and the Kokoda within each of us.

'The Spirit Of Kokoda' is written to honour the Diggers and their achievements, especially those who never returned home. It is a story of Australian sacrifice, fortitude and courage.
