Biography & Memoir History Australiana
Mark Johnston’s Fighting the Enemy places Australian soldiers and their adversaries in World War II under the same unflinching lens, blending front-line memories with rare war photography to show how both sides really fought. This 2000 hardcover, still wrapped in its original dust jacket, delivers a vivid, Pacific-theatre perspective prized by military-history collectors and readers after authentic Australian stories.
The book is an ex-library copy that has seen action of its own: stamps and tape ghosts on the endpapers, occasional thumbing and stains inside, and a few dog-eared corners. Yet the binding remains tight, so every campaign map and photo plate stays secure for reference or display.
Ideal for budget-minded buffs who want Johnston’s acclaimed research on their shelf without the collector-grade price. A solid reading copy that keeps the narrative front and centre while bearing honest service wear.
