About this product

Product Information

Contrary to what many Australians believe, during 1942 Japanese submarines were active in Australian waters and Japanese spy planes made surveillance flights over our major cities. With enemy submarines patrolling off the Western Australian coast, Fremantle became an important international submarine base, the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. During the war Fremantle played host to over 170 Allied submarines, with submarines of the United States, British and Dutch navies making a total of 416 war patrols out of the port between March 1942 and August 1945. The secrecy surrounding the operation of the Fremantle submarine base meant that its existence was little known at the time and, until now, has been largely forgotten by history.

More depth required!
I recommended this book because there is little else available on the subject, but found it disappointing. It conveys the facts and there is an attempt to make it more interesting by incorporating 'sub chapters' on related events, but I found it lacking on technical detail, disjointed and there wasn't enough information on the actual patrols made from Fremantle. The book's photos and text are presented in a deep blue tint which I found most annoying and it had a different cover to that shown.
