Publishers Description: WINNING FROM DOWNUNDER discusses the three advantages namely Leadership, Largesse and Luck enjoyed by the U.S.A. and Australia that brought the Japanese conquest of South East Asia and much of the Pacific to an end. The book gives insights into the personalities of the senior leaders of the Allies as revealed by their own actions and by the opinions expressed by their contemporaries. Some contentious topics are analysed such as what did Churchill and Roosevelt know about the Japanese plans before Pearl Harbour, the facts behind L.B. Johnsons visit to Australia and his receipt of a Silver Star Medal and whether or not there was a Brisbane Line defense planned for Australia. When discussing the Atomic Bombing,the Women who went to War, the Heroism and the Brutality of War, this book is faithful to Lord Byrons belief that there are deeds that should not pass away and names that should not be forgotten. and the observation of Sir George MacAuley Trevalyn referring to the impelling poetry of truth in Historical Study.
