Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 'We none of us ate any salt meat, or anything that would tend to give us a thirst. We are now on what is called the 'Table-land', a flat piece of country on the top of a very high mountain. We are now in unexplored country where no white man has been before, so it is uncertain when we may s…ee water again.'So reads part of the entry in Caroline Creaghe's diary for Monday 23 April 1883. By that time, as a sole female member of an exploring party, she was already well acquainted with the privations and harshness of travel in Australia's north. Ahead lay territory unknown to Europeans, as well as numerous tests of endurance, strength and courage.Creaghe's diary is one of the most remarkable documents of Australian exploration, written by one of the rarest of explorers - a woman.

Koike remained in Loveday until February 1946, and wrote a diary of his experiences during the war.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Flight to Fame, a classic adventure story, tells the hair-raising tale of the world-first flight from England to Australia, in the words of the pilot, (Sir) Ross Smith.In March 1919, Australia's prime minister announced a prize of 10,000 for the first successful flight from Great Britain to… Australia in under 30 days. Late that same year, the victorious pilots, Ross and Keith Smith, landed in Darwin to international acclaim. The New York Times gushed: 'Captain Ross Smith has done a wonderful thing for the prestige of the British Empire. He must be hailed as the foremost living aviator.' Their achievement was the forerunner to the age of international air travel.During the race, Ross and his brother Keith (his co-pilot and navigator) wrote in their diaries daily, recording the journey of their four-man crew in their Vickers Vimy G-EAOU twin-engine plane, its open cockpit exposing them to snow, sleet, hail and unbearable heat. Originally published as 14,000 Miles Through the Air (1922), Ross Smith's book recounts their danger-ridden, record-breaking journey - a mere 16 years after the Wright brothers first defied gravity for just a few seconds.This richly illustrated edition, published to coincide with the flight's centenary, is introduced and edited by historian Peter Monteath. This book tells the hair-raising tale of the world-first flight from England to Australia, in the words of (Sir) Ross Smith. In 1919, Australia's PM announced a prize of 10,000 for the first flight from Great Britain to Australia in under 30 days. The victorious pilots, Ross and Keith Smith, landed in Darwin late in 1919 to international acclaim. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Astoundingly, this was only the first of many escapes.An infantryman in the 2/7 Battalion…, Johnny Peck was first thrown into battle against Italian forces in the Western Desert. Campaigns against Hitlerâs Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe in Greece and Crete followed. When Crete fell to the Germans at the end of May 1941, Peck was trapped on the island with hundreds of other men. On the run, they depended on their wits, the kindness of strangers, and sheer good luck.When Peckâs luck ran out, he was taken captive by the Germans, then the Italians. Later, after his release from a Piedmontese jail following the Italian Armistice of 1943, and at immense risk to his own life, Peck devoted himself to helping POWs cross the Alps to safety. Captured once more, Peck was sentenced to death and detained in Milanâs notorious, Gestapo-run San Vittore prison â" until escaping again, this time into Switzerland.

Paperback. Condizione: New. At what point does the will to survive on the battlefield give way to bloodlust? What turns men into killers?The Battle of Crete was one of the most spectacular military campaigns of the twentieth century. For the first time in history, German forces carried out an invasion entirely from the air while… poorly equipped Anzac and British forces, and local Cretans, defended the island. During the campaign, one battle stands out for its viciousness. When the Germans approached the Allies' defensive line, known as 42nd Street, on 27 May 1941, men from the Australian 2/7 and 2/8 Battalions, New Zealanders from several battalions and British soldiers counter-attacked with fixed bayonets. By the end, bodies were strewn across the battlefield. Later, a German doctor reported that many of the bodies of the German soldiers had been mutilated.Acclaimed historian Peter Monteath draws on records and recollections of Australian, New Zealand, German and British forces and local Cretans to reveal the truth behind one of the most gruesome battles of World War II.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. At what point does the will to survive on the battlefield give way to bloodlust?The battle for Crete was at once the most modern and the most ancient of wars. For a week Australian and New Zealand forces were relentlessly hammered from the skies by the Luftwaffe and pursued across Crete by…some of the most accomplished and best equipped forces Hitler could muster.On the morning of 27 May 1941, however, all that was about to change. When a unit of German mountain troops approached the Allies' defensive line - known as 42nd Street - men from the Australian 2/7th and 2/8th Battalions and New Zealanders from several battalions counter-attacked with fixed bayonets. By the end, German bodies were strewn across the battlefield.Acclaimed historian Peter Monteath draws on recollections and records of Australian, New Zealand, British and German soldiers and local Cretans to reveal the truth behind one of the bloodiest battles of the Second World War.'This is military history at its best: deeply researched, powerfully told and proving that the essence of war is men killing other men.' - Joan Beaumont At what point does the will to survive on the battlefield give way to bloodlust?

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In August 1914 war broke out across Europe. Within months hundreds of men - 'enemy aliens' - were interned on Torrens Island, in the Port River estuary near Adelaide. Sailors taken off enemy ships, foreign nationals living in South Australia, and even some naturalised British subjects found… themselves behind barbed wire.Wartime censorship meant people outside knew next to nothing about internment or life in the camp. The camp commandant's brutal behaviour was revealed only years later.Today, the observations of two internees survive in the diaries of professional boxer Frank Bungardy and the compelling photographs of Paul Dubotzki. These extraordinary sources, brought together in Interned, tell the little-known story of South Australia's 'enemy within' - a story as timely now as it has ever been.
