Nice book which sheds light up on the circumstances prevailing during the war, and also the desperate attempts by the agents to help their master to plan over further conquest and control
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Historical fiction has always been my cup of tea and so I must read The Warramunga's War. The book sounds so informative, helpful and enchanting to those who love history. Great review!

A historical fiction about war and espionage sounds intriguing. Two agents are sent to stop German spies and find love in the way. That it is suspenseful, well written, and contains historical details makes it a good read. I don't think it is for me, but I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you and good luck!

History, adventure, romance, and mystery, it's all in one. This could be astonishing to read and the combinations of the genre would greatly affect the readers. I am intrigued on how the character brings the plot to life and how they change the perception of the reader towards the turn of events. Thank you for this great review.

Thanks for the review. I do not enjoy historical fiction especially of war. Reading the review I could clearly make out that it would be a very good book for my friends who love reading stories set in such background. So would definitely recommend it to them.

I´m a huge fan of WWII stories, but mostly about the Holocaust experience. I admit I haven´t read many stories focused on the battle aspect of it, so I´ll hive this book a try, especially because of all the praises you mention in your review. I think it can enrich a lot my WWII knowledge.
Thank you!

This novel is a historical fiction and its main theme is war and spying and it revolves around the two main characters Lieutenant James Munro and Corporal Jack O' Brien. These two men from Australian troops and fighting against the Nazi Vichy French in Syria and Lebanon.

Greg Kater has written an interesting historical fiction it is engaging and up to a great extent a thriller, as these two characters James and Jack become the part of army's intelligence in Cairo, Egypt.

The Warramunga's War From Down Understand to the Great Pyramids of Giza, this tale of a fight between great power and the Nazi agent s is enthralling. The author's research into the time period of the 1940's will make the reading worthwhile as we reimagine and reimage Egypt in that time frame.
