A propos de cet article

London, Walter Scott 1909. Octavo red cloth (spine faded and a bit rubbed); 336pp. Cheap endpapers browned, some minor signs of use but a pretty good copy. First edition. One of the classic yellow peril novels, this chronicles - from 1922 looking back to 1912 - the Japanese invasion of Australia - first by wile and cunnning then by war. It is of course a bit more complex, there is social turmoil and political breakdown, civil war and the abandonment, if not betrayal, of Australia by Britain. The central section of the book is the romance of the White Guard - the volunteer militia - and their guerilla warfare against the Japanese in the Northern Territory.
