Hostages To Freedom The Fall of Rabaul This book can only be described as a 'super book' - more than just a history book, reference book, its over 500+ pages of information, details, maps, photos and insights about location around Rabaul and its World War II history of Rabaul. It describes itself as 'not a pleasant story', as it reveals the atrocities of the Japanese, and failures of Australian to save their garrison at Rabaul, a town at the tip of New Britain Island, that was developed into a major Japnanese base, and thus target during World War II. It is also the story of tremendous human spirit and determination for survival. The book ends with eight appendixes - covering timelines, shipwreck lists, aircraft and abbreviation and personality bios. Also, a complete biography and detailed index (broken up by locations, people, units and ships. Review by Justin Taylan Return to Book Reviews | Add a review or submit for review Last Updated |
