Softcover. Zustand: Near Fine. AUSTRALIAN MILITARY NAVAL World War II -Eighteen days before Pearl Harbour, Japan opened fire on Australia. The RAN's cover-up of the action that sank HMAS on the 19th November, 1941 has been a public scandal for decades. This book explains how Churchill and Roosevelt sacrificed Sydney and the US Pearl Harbour fleet.645 men: Why were they left to be killed? Why were hundreds of Germans rescued and no Australians? Why does the Navy deny that Japan was involved? What has been done with the bodies? Why have files been concealed and records destroyed? Who did sink HMAS Sydney? People have been asking these questions since Sydney went down off W.A. in 1941. John Samuels finds answers in evidence that could not be destroyed. From coded transmissions, personal accounts, forensic evidence, and records of naval movements, he reconstructs the grim events of 19 November. More importantly, he asks who is hiding the truth, and why, examining alleged atrocities against their own on the part of Allies from three nations. His investigations expose top level manipulation in Washington and London to bring Japan and America into war. Somewhere Below rewrites the war history of Britain, Germany, Japan and the Australian Navy, in the lead up to Pearl Harbor.First Edition. 159 p. : ill., ports., facsim. ; 23 cm. #010325 Sydney (Cruiser : 1934-1941) Kormoran (Ship) Australia.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good +. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Hardcover. The Rocks is currently a tourist and historic area near Sydney, Australia's city center. The Rocks is one of the oldest British settlements in Australia, established shortly after the colony's formation in 1788. From the establishment of the settlement, it had a reputation as a slum where arriving convicts lived, and where visiting sailors and prostitutes thrived. In the late 1960s, the Sydney Cove Redevelopment Authority proposed redeveloping the area with high-rises. A residents group opposed the plan. After years of negotiation,The Rocks was renovated and transformed into a commercial and tourist zone. This book is an attempt to memorialize The Rocks of its earlier days through the black-and-white illustrations of Unk White, a renowned New Zealand artist who lived in The Rocks when he first moved to Australia. The illustrations are accompanied by text written by Olaf Ruhen, a native New Zealander and well-known Australian writer. SIGNED by Unk White on half-title page.
