Hugh Buggy, a seasoned war correspondent who witnessed the Pacific theatre firsthand, presents a compelling and authoritative account of Australia's military, naval, and air force engagements across New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and the wider Pacific region. Written with the urgency of a man who was there, the narrative captures the sacrifice, courage, and strategic ingenuity of Australian forces fighting against a formidable and tenacious enemy.\n\nBeyond the battlefield, Buggy's account illuminates the broader geopolitical stakes that made Australia's role so pivotal — a nation defending not only its Allied partners but its own shores from potential invasion. Issued under the authority of the Australian Minister for Information, this work carries the weight of an official record while retaining the vivid, human storytelling of a master journalist. It stands as an indispensable document of wartime history, raising the question of how a nation forged its modern identity in the crucible of the Pacific War.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50736190816475,"sku":"2026200018501-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ac26a8c2-7be8-4746-8c75-57be390e15cf.png?v=1792122578","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018501-secondhand-pacific-victory-a-short-history-of-australias-part-in-the-war-against-japan","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
