Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. On the night of 31 May 1942, three Japanese midget submarines slipped through the defences of Sydney Harbour and launched a daring attack on Allied warships anchored inside the harbour. The raid shocked Australia and revealed that the Pacific War had reached the nation's doorstep.Japanese Submarine Raiders recounts the dramatic and little-known submarine campaign waged by Japan against Australia during the Second World War. In early 1942, Japanese submarines appeared along Australia's east coast, attacking merchant ships, shelling Australian cities, and probing coastal defences. The Sydney Harbour attack formed part of a wider submarine offensive directed against Australia's shipping and major ports.Drawing on wartime records, naval reports, survivor accounts, and more than four decades of historical research, Steven Carruthers reconstructs both the Sydney Harbour attack and the broader submarine operations conducted along Australia's coastline. The book examines the strategy behind Japan's submarine raids and the challenges faced by Australian naval authorities tasked with defending the nation's largest ports.This revised edition also explores the hidden intelligence dimension of the campaign. Allied commanders relied on fragmentary signals intelligence while strict wartime censorship limited what governments and the public knew about Japanese submarine activity in Australian waters. These secret aspects of the war shaped both wartime decision-making and the historical record that followed.Originally published as Australia Under Siege in 1982 and later revised as Japanese Submarine Raiders 1942, this new edition incorporates updated research and analysis to present a comprehensive account of Japan's submarine war at Australia's doorstep.Part naval history and part investigative reconstruction, Japanese Submarine Raiders illuminates a dramatic chapter of Australia's wartime experience and the submarine campaign that brought the war to its eastern shores. Japanese Submarine Raiders recounts Japan's 1942 submarine campaign against Australia, including the midget submarine attack on Sydney Harbour and a dramatic but little-known chapter of the Pacific War.

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the early hours of 8 June 1942, Japanese submarines surfaced off Sydney and Newcastle and opened fire on Australia's east coast. It was the only time enemy warships directly bombarded the Australian mainland during the Second World War.The attack came just days after the dramatic midget submarine raid inside Sydney Harbour, when the Japanese submarine M24 torpedoed the accommodation ship HMAS Kuttabul, killing twenty-one sailors. As the supporting fleet submarines withdrew from Australian waters, two commanders made a final gesture of defiance-surfacing offshore and firing their deck guns at Australia's largest coastal cities.Although the bombardments caused little physical damage, the psychological impact was profound. Shells fell in suburban streets, unexploded ordnance was recovered, and rumours of invasion spread rapidly through the population. Yet within weeks the attacks were largely forgotten, their details obscured by confusion, incomplete records and decades of speculation.Drawing on wartime documents, naval reports, civil defence files and bomb-disposal evidence, Steven Carruthers and Commander Terry Jones reconstruct the bombardments in forensic detail. Their investigation traces where the shells landed, why many failed to explode, and how authorities responded to an attack few had anticipated.Focused, authoritative and deeply researched, A Parting Shot restores these little-known Japanese submarine bombardments to their rightful place in Australia's wartime history.…
