No not Diana and her girl friends but rather this one:

With Book Depository closing down in a few months I took the opportunity to look for some cheap buys. Fortunately I checked their prices against Amazon and found they were cheaper there. Two days later they were delivered on Easter Saturday morning just in time for my morning cuppa and before the rain, which sadly meant the gardening was out of the question, So sad!

These books look at the various actions of the New guinea campaign in more detail than the broader studies I have on the shelf at the moment.

I am particularly looking forward to Phillip Bradley’s book “D-Day New Guinea” on the Battle for lae, which was in many ways a rehearsal for the invasion of France, and was the first successful amphibious landing combined with large scale airborne support of the war.
