Description:
NSW: Allen & Unwin Pty LTD, 1997. Soft cover. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. This copy feels unread. In 1945, 240 Australians died taking the small island of Tarakan from the Japanese. The tragedy of Tarakan was that by the time they succeeded, they needn't have begun. This study suggests ways of looking at Australia's experience of war. It critically appraises the view that the Borneo campaign was unnecessary, arguing that the tragedy of Tarakan was that it was a justifiable operation doomed by the politics of coalition warfare and by bad planning.
