Borneo 1942–1945: Australians in the Pacific War chronicles the harrowing experience of Australian forces during the Borneo campaign, from the devastating fall of the island to Japanese forces in 1942 through to the hard-won Allied landings and liberation battles of 1945. Combining rare archival photography with meticulously researched historical narrative, the work details the amphibious assaults, jungle warfare, prisoner-of-war ordeals, and the extraordinary resilience of the men and women who served in one of the war's most unforgiving theatres.\n\nDrawing on the authoritative collections of the Australian War Memorial, this volume illuminates the broader strategic significance of Borneo within the Pacific War, presenting the campaign not as a footnote but as a defining chapter of Australian military identity. The human cost — measured in sacrifice, survival, and memory — is rendered with unflinching clarity, ensuring that the voices of those who fought are preserved for future generations. For anyone seeking to understand the full scope of Australia's role in the Second World War, this richly illustrated record raises an urgent and haunting question: how much of this story has yet to be told?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210245644507,"sku":"2026200013929-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9156ff0e-8b0b-4b55-81d2-3a20004fc31f.png?v=1788267966","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013929-secondhand-borneo-1942-1945-australians-in-the-pacific-war","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
