Publishers Description: On the battlefields of World War II, Australia and the USA were allies. Yet in Brisbane, home to south-west Pacific operations headquarters, tensions were rife, escalating on Thanksgiving Day in November 1942 when an Australian soldier died at the hands of an American MP. Hushed up at the time, this is the full story of events during the unstable period.
