Exclusive! In-store signing with Mike CarltonThursday 12 August, 2010 One of Australia’s best known journalists, Mike Carlton, will be signing copies of his ground-breaking new book, Cruiser: the Life and Loss of HMAS Perth exclusively at Boffins. Of all the Australians who fought in the Second World War, none saw more action nor endured more hardship than the crew of HMAS Perth. To tell this harrowing story, Mike Carlton spent three years researching naval archives and interviewing the few men still alive who survived the sea battles, the sinking and the horrors of the Burma-Thai railway. |
