This book traces the story of the Japanese submarine shelling of Sydney and Newcastle on 8 June 1942. Revealing for the first time the contents of the bomb disposal squad war diary, The authors reconstruct events that happened in both cities, including the search for, recovery and disposal of unexploded shells. This book is more than an account of a significant event in Australia's wartime history, it is a landmark story about good luck, tragedy and courage.
