Description

Discover the untold truth of one of the most significant moments in Australian history. On 19 February 1942, the Japanese air force bombed Darwin, leaving a lasting impact on the nation. While the event is widely recognized, the specific details of what occurred remain largely unknown to the public. In this Routledge Library Edition, author Timothy Hall provides an unprecedented look at the events of that day. As the first writer granted access to all official reports from the period, Hall reveals the reality of the situation that differed from the military honor the War Cabinet attempted to project. This book examines a sequence of events that former Governor-General Sir Paul Hasluck described as a day of national shame. This historical account is essential for readers interested in World War II in Asia and military history. It moves past official narratives to present a factual account based on primary source documents, offering a clear perspective on the chaos and reality of the bombing of Darwin.
