History

Australian History Military History World War II Dunera Affair

Paul R. Bartrop and Gabrielle Elsen’s 1990 paperback, The Dunera Affair: A Documentary Resource Book, unpacks one of Australia’s most controversial wartime episodes through official papers, letters and survivor testimonies. Ideal for military-history students or enthusiasts, the volume pieces together the 1940 deportation and internment of the HMT Dunera’s “enemy aliens.”

This copy carries a warm personalised inscription on the front endpaper, adding human connection to the already moving narrative. The cover shows only light shelf wear, pages remain crisp and unmarked, and the binding is tight—no dog-ears or smoke odours. A tiny fore-edge nick on the half-title is noted, otherwise the book presents very cleanly for its age.

Collectors of Australian history, educators teaching World War II internment, or anyone seeking a signed-feel keepsake will appreciate this accessible, thoroughly documented resource. Secure this annotated edition before it sails on to another shelf.
