Between the end of the Kokoda campaign in January 1943 and the start of the New Guinea offensives at Lae in early September 1943, the Australian Army was engaged in some of the most intense and challenging fighting of the war for the ridges around Salamaua. Following the defeat of the Japanese offensive against Wau, it was decided to carry the fight to the Japanese force at Salamaua but what started as platoon level actions in April and May 1943 soon developed into company, battalion and brigade level operations for control of the dominating ridge systems around Salamaua. Following an amphibious landing, an American infantry regiment and supporting artillery units were also drawn into the fighting in July 1943. Salamaua 1943 also includes detailed insights into the tenacious Japanese defence of Salamaua, a defence to a threat that in the end was only a feint to draw Japanese forces away from Lae.
Incorporating over 120 photographs from the battlefield including drone footage plus 26 maps and the added detail of 15 sidebars, Salamaua 1943 takes the reader behind what was one of the most complex campaigns of the Pacific War.

Front cover and title page: On 13 July Damien Parer watched as A lad assisted by Gordon Ayre came along the track. He had a dressing over his forehead covering his eyes and his arm was in a sling. I got a walking shot of him. He rested in the old RAP and Gordon Ayre took him forward. I went along. The rain started to come down and as Gordon was helping him across the creek a line of carriers passed then. I got a long shot & a close up they the best two Ive done so far. (still from Damien Parer film, AWM 127971).
