PDF The History of the Jewish People in the Age of Jesus Christ by Emil Schürer in History

Description

Following the devastating raids on Pearl Harbor on December 7; 1941; lightning advances by Japanese forces throughout the Pacific and the Far East; and a desperate battle by the Allied command in the Dutch East Indies; it became evident that an attack on Australia was more a matter of “when” and not “if.”On February 19; just eleven weeks after the attacks on Pearl Harbor and two weeks after the fall of Singapore; the same Japanese battle group that had attacked Hawaii was ordered to attack the ill-prepared and under-defended Australian port of Darwin.Publishing 75 years after this little-known yet devastating attack; this fully illustrated study details what happened on that dramatic day in 1942 with the help of contemporary photographs; maps; and profiles of the commanders and machines involved in the assault.
