Kokoda (by Peter FitzSimons) By: Peter FitzSimons Narrated by: Lewis FitzGerald Length: 16 hrs and 47 mins Unabridged Audiobook Release date: 09-03-2011 Language: English Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd For Australians, Kokoda is the iconic battle of World War II, yet few people know just what happened and just what our troops achieved. Now, best-selling author Peter FitzSimons tells the Kokoda story in a gripping, moving story for all Australians., Conditions on the track were hellish - rain was constant, the terrain close to inhospitable, food and ammunition supplies were practically non-existent, and the men constantly battled malaria and dysentery, as well as the Japanese. Kokoda was a defining battle for Australia - a small force of young, ill-equipped Australians engaged a highly experienced and hitherto unstoppable Japanese force on a narrow, precarious jungle track - and defeated them., 2005 Peter FitzSimons (P)2013 Audiobook recording produced by Evan Croker.
