'True stories of Aussie courage and mateship during World War II

'From the annals of the RSL come these riveting true stories, written by World War II Diggers, POWs, nurses and other eyewitnesses, that capture the impact of war on those who took part.

'With eyewitness accounts ranging from the Fall of Singapore to the Kokoda Track, and from Greece to the Middle East, in the air and at sea, these stories bring the Australian experience of World War II to life with humour, pathos and vivid detail. In these pages, you'll find memories of the Japanese POW camps, the Burma Railway, Sandakan, air raids on Berlin, life as a Rat of Tobruk and so much more.

'Collected in one volume for the first time, these stories are a must-read record of the Australian experience of World War II.' (Publication Summary)
