The Ghost Mountain Boys: Their Epic March and the Terrifying Battle for New Guinea---The Forgotten War of the South Pacific
- Synopsis
-
One of the world's most inhospitable places, New Guinea also was the stage for one of the fiercest battles of World War II. Campbell's book documents the largely forgotten story of the 32nd Division's Ghost Mountain Boys, who were ordered to march 130 miles over rugged mountains and through disease-ridden jungle inhabited by warlike territorial tribes to protect the Australian army as it fought the Japanese. A history written in narrative style, the book offers a detailed account of the immense hardship and horrible conditions the Ghost Mountain Boys encountered.
