Reading Room: Australian Soldiers in Asia-Pacific in World War II: Reviewed by Dr Sue Thompson

Lachlan Grant has written an interesting history of the experiences of Australian troops across Asia and the Pacific during the Second World War and their many varied interactions with the people and cultures of that region. He tells the story of those interactions and how the changing environment during the war and the immediate post-war period shaped the opinions and experiences of these people who contributed to the changing perceptions of how Australians view their region.
