Peter Singer ethicist and philosopher, discovered some of his grandfather's letters in a relative's apartment in Melbourne. Reading them, he made startling discoveries about his grandparents early romantic attachments, the basis on which they decide to marry, their professional aspirations and their differing views of Judaism. ". Starting from an essay that Oppenheimer co-wrote with Freud, the which was suppressed because of a bitter split within the Wednesday Group, Singer explores the difficulties of free enquiry in the circles of both Freud and Adler. As he set out to find out more about the life of a man he never knew, Singer was transported back to the Vienna of his grandfather, where was the hub of European culture and new ideas, a culture that was both intensely Jewish and distinctly secular. Examining this culture, and its fate, forces Singer to confront one of the foundations of his own thought: how much can we rely on human reason?" Â from the rear panel blurb.

" Captain Bullen's War combines the irreverent humour of M.A.S.H. with the sharp satire of Catch-22 in portraying one man's extraordinary experiences of the war in Vietnam in 1968, the bloodiest year of the conflict. The difference is that neither Captain John Bullen nor his experiences are fictional. Nor was he a reluctant soldier. A graduate of the Royal Military College, Duntroon, and a career soldier in the Australian army, Bullen commanded the vital map-producing section of the Australian Task Force at Nui Dat. Alert to the possibility of humour in the bleakest circumstances, he decided to chronicle the events around him. What emerges is one of the most darkly funny and lacerating accounts of the Vietnam war ever written." -- From the rear panel blurb. Size: Trade Paperback. Please refer to accompanying picture (s).

"In this unique and balanced portrayal, journalist Paul Ham recounts both the Australian and Japanese perspectives of the Kokoda Track campaign, in which thousands fought and died during World War II. Based on extensive research in Australia and Japan, Kokoda intimately relates the stories of ordinary soldiers in "the world's worst killing field", and examines the role of commanders in sending ill-equipped, unqualified Australian troops into battles that resulted in near 100\% casualties rates. It was a war without mercy, fought back and forth along miles of mountains, river crossings, swamps and coastal plains, with both sides racked by hunger and disease, and terrified of falling into enemy hands." -- from the rear panel blurb.
