I am now starting another book covering a different period of Australian history that is very poorly known in this country - An Awkward Truth by Peter Grose, which covers the bombing of Darwin commencing on 19 February 1942, which was bigger than Pearl Harbor. It is also a personal tale, because my fathers aunt, uncle and cousin, who ran the Darwin Post Office were killed when they took a direct hit from a Japanese bomb on that day.

I also recommend Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison - similar title, but a completely different subject. A more modern classic (1952), but really excellent.knighthkm wrote:I'm about to start "The Invisible Man" by H.G. Wells. I'm excited!
