New Guinea: The Tide is Stemmed (Ballantine's Illustrated History of the Violent Century: Campaign Book, No. 13)

159 pp. Festering swamp and sodden jungle, snakes, crocodiles, myriads of scorpions, centipedes, ants, leeches, typhus bearing mites, malaria; this stone age land of tropical diseases and appalling climate was the setting for a campaign that would cost the Japanese 100,000 lives. And it was the Japanese who chose to campaign there.
