What
others are saying about Darkest Hour:
Richard B. Frank, author of Downfall: The End of the Imperial Japanese Empire
"For whatever reason, far too
few books about Australia's participation in World War II make it to
these shores. Had it not been for Bruce Gamble's remarkable history of
Aussie courage at Rabaul, comparable at least with the American and
Filipino doomed defense of Corregidor Island or the brave but futile
U.S. stand at Wake Island, few Americans would know what went on
there...Author Gamble pored over forgotten files and official reports
and conducted interviews with the handful of surviviing veterans to
craft this tragic, heroic story. A terrific tale about a little-known
(to Americans) battle."
WWII History Magazine, May 2007
"Bruce Gamble writes this historic story as if he were an eyewitness to the events. It is a most compelling and entertaining tale that shows the courage, sacrifices and horrors of war first hand. Gamble makes us feel the emotions of that group as he shares with the reader some of the small details of the events by the people involved. The writing is top notched and goes beyond a mere reporting of what happened. It captures the heart and soul of that time and place. Reading this true story will change you; you cannot help but be moved by what happened to these men and women."
