Upcoming - Australians in Burma 1942-1945

In the Fight: Australians and the War in Burma 1942-1945
(Big Sky Publishing - October 30, 2024)
Edited by Andrew Kilsby and Daryl Moran
400 pages - paperback
$34.99 AU

"If you didn’t know that Australians were involved in the longest campaign of WWII, in Burma, in what was called ‘a forgotten war’, this book illuminates the lost stories of their service.

In the Fight tells the compelling stories behind the involvement of Australians in what became one of the great sagas of the war against the Japanese in South East Asia, encompassing India, Ceylon, Burma, China, Thailand, Indo-China, Malaya, Singapore and Sumatra. While Australian airmen attached to the Royal Air Force were heavily engaged, many other Australians both uniformed and civilian were part of the monumental struggle to turn ‘defeat into victory’ in Burma.

Australian war correspondents, Red Cross nurses, Royal Australian Navy sailors, war artists, commandos and saboteurs, soldiers serving with the British Indian Army, the Women’s Auxiliary Service (Burma), well known sportsmen, government officials dealing with the terrible Bengal famine, Qantas crews and POWs in the Rangoon Jail are all covered in these detailed accounts.

Written by leading authorities and expertly edited by Andrew Kilsby and Daryl Moran, In the Fight reveals the long hidden stories of the Australians and the war in Burma."
