Attack on Sydney Harbour: June 1942: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Attack on Sydney Harbour: June 1942" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
War had already come to northern Australia, and now the southern cities were made bitterly aware that the world-wide conflict had reached them. The midget submarine attack was only the beginning: gun strikes were made against land targets, and more enemy submarines came south, attacking freighters up and down the continents eastern coast.
This new accounting of the night Sydney Harbour was attacked reveals new details of the fight that ensued and sets some of the previous historical accounts right. The text is supported by numerous photos as well as extensive plans of the midget submarines, and details of the curious stories following the war, including the discovery of the third midget submarine, sunk off the New South Wales coast.

Appendix 1
Enemy submarine actions around Australia in World War II
The submarine actions listed here include flights from submarine-based aircraft.
The actions given are listed by date as per the source given. Sometimes that might differ from a submarines action report.
Enemy submarines include a single German boat.
Lives lost are not known for all ships and have therefore not been calculated. The end totals, however, would be approximately around 500 for Allied lives and 172 Japanese submariners.
Seventy-five separate Japanese submarine actions took place, and 23 ships were sunk.
Sources are a mix of primary and in the main, secondary.
