Summary

"Coral Sea" meticulously examines the pivotal naval battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942, a key event in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Although a tactical draw, it represented a crucial strategic victory for the Allied war effort by halting Japanese expansion and preventing the capture of Port Moresby, which was a gateway to Australia. The book reveals how this clash reshaped the course of the war, highlighting the battle's profound impact on naval warfare and military strategy. The book explores the strategic importance of the Coral Sea, detailing Japan's rapid advance and the Allies' desperate need to check their momentum. The analysis draws from primary sources, including naval war diaries and decoded communications, to provide an objective account. The narrative progresses by first setting the stage with pre-war strategies, then dissecting the battle itself through the lens of naval power projection, and finally assessing the battle’s strategic outcome and its influence on subsequent events like the Battle of Midway. By focusing on the decision-making processes of commanders and the innovative use of carrier-based aircraft, "Coral Sea" offers valuable insights for military history enthusiasts and those interested in the broader implications of this decisive engagement. It emphasizes the strategic value of geographic locations, and connects to broader fields such as political science and economic history.

    The Ottoman Empire's collapse at the end of the First World War is often treated as a foregone conclusion. It was only a matter of time, the story goes, before the so-called Sick Man of Europe succumbed to its ailments—incompetent management, nationalism, and ethnic and religious conflict. In The War That Made the Middle East, Mustafa Aksakal overturns this conventional narrative.The War That Made the Middle East shows that, until 1914, the Ottoman Empire was a viable multiethnic, multireligious state, and that relations between the Arabs, Jews, Muslims, and Christians of Palestine were relatively stable. When war broke out, the Ottoman government sought an alliance with the Entente but was rejected because of British and French designs on the Eastern Mediterranean. After the Ottomans entered the fight on the side of Germany and were defeated, Britain and France seized Ottoman lands and new national elites in former Ottoman territories claimed their own states. The region was renamed "the Middle East," erasing a robust and modernizing 600-year-old empire.A sweeping narrative of war, great power politics, and ordinary people caught up in the devastation, The War That Made the Middle East offers new insights about the Great War and its profound and lasting consequences.

    A Week in September

    Through a precious cache of WWII letters, a story of war is revealed. But also, most movingly, a story of love, resilience and survival, from award-winning and bestselling writer, Peter Rees and Sue Langford.. 
  
'Profoundly moving ... I don't mind saying I wept at the end, for all the young men lost to war, their widows and children ... a lovely book.' The Australian 
Doug Heywood was a teenager when he discovered, in a shoebox hidden in a wardrobe, hundreds of letters, all written by his father, Scott Heywood. As a POW on the infamous Burma Railway, Scott wrote almost daily to his young wife, Margery, on scraps of paper that had to be hidden from guards. These letters tell of an enduring love – and also, intriguingly, of how Scott dealt with the most brutally testing circumstances. 
Scott's story has echoes of another story happening 7000 kilometres away at the same time. Viktor Frankl, a psychiatrist, was rounded up with his family and sent to Auschwitz in September 1942. Frankl later wrote in his classic book Man's Search for Meaning that the last of the human freedoms was the ability 'to choose one's attitude in any set of circumstances'. Scott Heywood and Viktor Frankl, on opposite sides of the world, found their own ways to survive that were uncannily similar. 
This is the untold story of one man, one ordinary man, and his war. Woven through it is Margery's story, as she waited anxiously with their two young children in rural Victoria, trapped in an emotional rollercoaster, unaware that he was writing letters to her that could not be posted. This is a powerful and moving story of love, resilience and survival.
