To Kokoda & The World War I Commemorative Cookbook
Another superb title from the Australian Army History Unit and a unique Cook Book from an Aussie soldier and My Kitchen Rules contestant, David Hopgood, and his wife Cath, helping to raise funds for Soldier On.
To Kokoda, new release in the Australian Army History Unit Campaigns Series
When the Japanese war machine swept through South-East Asia in early 1942, it was inevitable that conflict would reach Australian territory on the island of New Guinea.
It was here against a determined enemy and on one of the harshest battlefields on earth, that the Australian forces began to learn the crucial lessons that would be needed to break the back of the Japanese Army in New Guinea.
To Kokoda tells the story of the bloody and protracted struggle as Australian troops fought to drive the Japanese off the Owen Stanleys and out of Papua.
“In To Kokoda, Nick Anderson cuts through the thick
fabric of myths and tall tales that have been woven
around the story of the Kokoda Trail and recovers the
essential detail of the military campaign.”
