Two true war time stories of Australia: Japanese midget submarines attacked Sydney Harbour in 1942, stunning Australia with their preparations, strategy and the aftermath - an attack that could have paved the way for the first wartime invasion in Australia's history. The greatest mass escape of prisoners-of-war in British milirtary history took place in the small country town of Cowra in 1944. The attempt was hopeless - 231 Japanese and 4 Australians were killed. Illustrated with black and white photographs.
