Description:
|
The story of KOKODA - the heroic defence of our nation against a powerful foreign invader - is finally gaining its rightful place at the forefront of Australians' consciousness. However, one can only begin to understand what really took place on that remote jungle pathway during WWII by actually trekking its razorback ridges and deep gullies, enduring the stifingly humid days and the bone-chilling nights. This is why thousands of Australians are now making the arduous pilgrimage over the Owen Stanley Range. 'History', according to a noted historian, 'is very much about a sense of place', and history is always close by on the Kokoda Track.
Whilst the KOKODA legend lay dormant for six decades, the rampant New Guinean jungle reclaimed many of its historic sites. But now, after years of painstaking research, and with aid of the fast-thinning ranks of both Australian and Japanese veterans, Bill James has finally uncovered these 'lost battlefields'. For those wishing to fully understand the history of the Kokoda Track, this book will be of great interest. For those intending to undertake the gruelling trek, it is essential reading.
