Inferno

Phillip Bradley is a leading Australian military historian and has had a lifetime interest in the field. His extensive research on the battlefield, in the archives and with veterans has given him an intimate knowledge of Australia’s military past. Eight of his books, On Shaggy Ridge, The Battle for Wau, To Salamaua, Wau 1942-43, Hell’s Battlefield, D-Day New Guinea, The Battle for Shaggy Ridge and Salamaua 1943, are groundbreaking works on the Australian role in Papua New Guinea in World War II, all characterised by extensive battlefield research and unique interviews with battlefield veterans. His other books, Charles Bean’s Gallipoli Illustrated and Australian Light Horse, combine extracts from World War I diaries with unique collections of photographs to illustrate these classic campaigns. Bradley’s latest book, Inferno, completes his trilogy of World War I volumes.
