<p>On 27 November 2012, Senator Bob Carr, Australia's
Foreign Minister will launch a new book <i>Australia
1942: In the Shadow of War</i>, edited by Dr Peter Dean
of ANU's Strategic & Defence Studies Centre.<br>
<br>
In 1942, the shadow of modern war reached Australia’s
shores for the first time. In this compelling volume,
leading historians explore why 1942 was such a pivotal
year in Australia’s history, and explain how the nation
confronted some of its greatest challenges. This broad
ranging study covers key issues from political, economic
and home front reform to the establishment of a new
partnership with the United States; the role of the Air
Force and the Navy; the bombing of Darwin; as well as the
battles of Kokoda, Milne Bay, the Beachheads and
Guadalcanal. <br>
<br>
<i>Australia 1942</i> provides a unique and in-depth
exploration of the controversy surrounding the potential
for invasion. Japanese and Australian historians offer
perspectives on Japanese military intentions and
strategies towards Australia and the south Pacific.
Generously illustrated, it is essential reading for anyone
interested in one of Australia’s most decisive and
critical years.<br>
