Chronicles of World War II by Peter FitzSimons

Prepare yourself for a tough, intimate look at World War II as it was fought by Australians and New Zealanders in our exclusive new book, Chronicles of World War II. Peter FitzSimons is one of Australia’s best-known authors and was Australia’s best-selling non-fiction writer in 2001 and 2004.

These three war stories, Tobruk, Nancy Wake and Kokoda are specially edited by Reader’s Digest and amongst the finest he has written. They take you not only into the battlefields but into the difficult lives of the men and women, like Australian Leslie Morshead, or New Zealander Nancy Wake, who risked everything for victory. Penetrating and compassionate, FitzSimons has a sure touch with character, and his search for historical accuracy enhances the tribute that he pays in this collection to the courage and endurance of Australians at war. A great gift idea for all military enthusiasts and fans of gritty non-fiction alike.
