Between the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 and the fighting on the north coast of Papua a year later, Australians were involved in a number of decisive battles that have become part of the folklore of Australian history. These were battles that helped shape their national identity and dramatically influenced the course of their history. Suddenly Australia's focus moved from the war in Europe to a new, more pressing danger at home. Modern Australia faced for the first time the direct threat of invasion. These battles were commemorated by "The Australian" in a series of 50th anniversary special features. These features included important pieces of writing from Australia's best journalists and military historians on the major battles during this period, including Pearl Harbor, the fall of Singapore, the Battle of the Coral Sea, Guadalcanal, the Battle of El Alamein, the Kokoda Track and Milne Bay.

A masterful work of personal reportage, this volume is also a vibrant portrait of a mysterious people and an essential document of a disappearing culture. Fabled, feared, romanticized, and reviled, the Gypsies—or Roma—are among the least understood people on earth. Their culture remains largely obscure, but in Isabel Fonseca they have found an eloquent witness. In Bury Me Standing, alongside unforgettable portraits of individuals—the poet, the politician, the child prostitute—Fonseca offers sharp insights into the humor, language, wisdom, and taboos of the Roma. She traces their exodus out of India 1,000 years ago and their astonishing history of persecution: enslaved by the princes of medieval Romania; massacred by the Nazis; forcibly assimilated by the communist regimes; evicted from their settlements in Eastern Europe, and most recently, in Western Europe as well. Whether as handy scapegoats or figments of the romantic imagination, the Gypsies have always been with us—but never before have they been brought so vividly to life.

Visually the exterior appearance is more than acceptable,and even internally,the book is also in an acceptable condition/state of preservation and presentation for a book of it's age and nature, i.e. an ephemeral p/back book.It is only the minimal,minor exterior faults described that prevents a slightly higher grading.Despite that,it really is still an exceptional copy for its cleanliness and brightness. In 1934 a German-led team set off to climb the West Himalayan peak of Nanga Parbat,the ninth highest mountain on earth.No such attempt had been made since the disastrous assault of 1895,but Nazi Germany was determined to prove its natural superiority to the world.The heavily funded expedition, accompanied by cameras to record the team's success,resulted in dangerous pressure to deliver results.When a hurricane hit the leading party just short of the summit,the Germans broke the unwritten rule of mountaineering and headed down alone.Facing almost certain death,it was the moment the Sherpas who survived have never forgotten.Now the Sherpas,not the Europeans,were seen as the most responsible climbers - 'Tigers of the Snow'. Impeccably researched and superbly written,this is the compelling narrative of a climb gone wrong,set against the mountaineering history of the early twentieth century and the haunting background of German politics in the 1930s.
