Invasion Rabaul: The True Story Of Lark Force At Rabaul - Australia's Worst Military Disaster Of World War II (2014) - Plot & Excerpts

Very enjoyable read, full book on a subject that in very general history of the pacific theater gets a sentence or two at the most. I always like when an author is able to write a book where the personal naratives are used to tell a story, instead of some authors who are simply trying to tell personal stories. I hope the other two books in the Rabaul Trilogy are this great. My only real complaint with this book, I felt the author was a little harsh at the Australian government/military command. There were comments regarding the australians sending more men, more planes, or ships to strengthen Rabaul. Wouldn't that be sending more men to a horrible fate? What would have been needed to stop the initial Japanese attack? How much more to stop a follow up assault? Wake island surived one assault, they didn't last too long against a second. But I do agree that there should have been a rescue plan for the individuals who survived the assault on Rabaul. But shouldn't the commanders on the ground who made no plans and stored no supplies in the jungle share alot of that blame also?
