"Sales/posting to the USA suspended". Card covers, 285pp, b&w plates. Light wear on card edges/corners; light marking on bottom page edges else good-very good In 1943, twenty-year-old Brian Walpole left his Melbourne home for the steaming jungles of New Guinea to serve in one of Australia's first commando units. Then in Borneo, as a member of the elite Z Special Unit, he fought alongside headhunting Sea Dyaks, who were paid a bounty for every Japanese head taken. Brian learnt their language, slept in their longhouses. The experience changed him forever. Yet despite his being surrounded on all sides by grotesque images of death, this is above all a story of life, reflecting the author's motto: life is for living. My War records a unique experience of Australia at war that has so far been little known.
