Publishers Description: The Battle for the Kokoda Track is Australias Alamo. If Gallipoli symbolized the ANZAC spirit in WWI, then Kokoda is its WWII equivalent. In August 1942 Kokoda was a killing field. Today, it is hard to imagine what those young men endured for our freedom but the journey gives some clues. The track plays a leading role in the story of Kokoda. It is one of the worlds most fascinating locationsat once an alluring, challenging obstacle of compelling beauty and yet a foreboding, perilous microcosm of life at its rawest and most savage. In Kokoda Spirit , Patrick Lindsay takes us on a journey that explores the track as it is today and how it was in 1942. With his unique storytelling he reconnects us with the past while taking us on the grueling journey that is Kokoda.
