From the corridors of power to the blood stained battlefields of the Papua New Guinea highlands, 'Kokoda' tells the story of the brutal World War II military campaign fought between Australia and Japan. From day one of the Kokoda campaign the fighting was politicised, mismanaged, mythologised and venerated. 'Kokoda' delves behind the myths of war to tell the story from both sides of the conflict. It provides an authentic and comprehensive account of the desperate confusion of war, the intricate connections between the front-line soldiers and millitary high command, and the political agendas that influenced the campaign and continue to percolate through contemporary Australian society.
