""In recent years a number of books have been written about the Australian campaign in Papua during the crisis year of 1942. The saga of the ferocious battles along the infamous Kokoda Track now ranks alongside those of the earlier campaign at Gallipoli. The words - Kokoda and Gallipoli, are now very much part of our military heritage. For the first time we have a detailed description of the campaign at Kokoda and Gona, written by a senior officer who participated in the bitter struggle. Lieutenant Colonel Frank Sublet, DSO, MC, was present during much of the fighting, and has presented a critical analysis of the campaign, which highlights the blunders made by the Australian Government in neglecting Papua prior to the Japanese invasion; the conflicts between MacArthur and Blamy, also Blamey and Rowell; the erroneous strategic and tactical judgements made by the commanders of both sides during the Papuan campaign. Despite squabbling at higher command levels, the constant theme of 'Kokoda to the sea' is that of the bravery and endurance of the Australian soldier during a period in which Port Moresby and Australia were in grave peril from an over-confident Japanese army. 'Kokoda to the sea' provides a new and provocative perspective on an important phase of our military history."
