Publisher's Synopsis

Darwin was a battle Australia would rather forget. The Japanese attack on 19 Feb. 1942 was the first wartime assault on Australian soil. The attack was similar to that of Pearl Harbor but this time more bombs were dropped, more civillians were killed and more ships were sunk. This is the story of the day that war came to Australia.
