Senator Bob Carr launches ‘Australia 1942: In the Shadow of War’

On 27 November 2012, Senator Bob Carr, Australia's Foreign Minister will 
launch a new book /Australia 1942: In the Shadow of War/, edited by Dr 
Peter Dean of ANU's Strategic & Defence Studies Centre.

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.

/Australia 1942/ 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.
