Comments: David Jones and Peter Nunan tell, for the first time, the complete story of the U.S. Submarine task force based in Brisbane during World War II.
Highly secret at the time, the submarines’ activities remain little known even today, although their contribution to the war effort in the Pacific was significant.
Drawing on personal experiences of individual sailors to give readers a dramatic picture of life at sea, Subs Downunder proudly records the professional cooperation and personal friendships that developed between the Australians and the Americans.
Subs Down Under is more than the story of one small city in World War II. It is a tale that covers vast areas of the Pacific. David Jones and Peter Nunan have brought together a body of submarine data that will enlighten a broad spectrum of the reading public.
