D-Day New Guinea : the extraordinary story of the battle for Lae and the greatest combined airbone and amphibious operation of the Pacific War / by Phillip Bradley.
D-Day New Guinea :
Includes bibliographical references and index. The capture of Lae was the most complex operation for the Australian army in the Second World War. In many ways it was also a rehearsal for the D-Day invasion of France, with an amphibious landing combined with the first successful large-scale Allied airborne operation of the war. D-Day New Guinea brings together the extraordinary stories of the Australian, American and Japanese participants in this battle, and of the fight against the cloying jungle, the raging rivers and the soaring mountain ranges that made New Guinea such a daunting battlefield.
