Field Guide to the Kokoda Track An Historical Guide to the Lost Battlefields

Bill James knows a thing or two about being a great guide and he has a made an even greater guide book of the Kokoda Track. Way back in 1973 he co founded Top Deck Travel and then in 1985 he was a founding Director of Flight Centre Ltd. He wrote this book as a historical reference for those traveling to the Kokoda Track. However, it can also be read as a "stand alone " book for all those who are researching the famous Kokoda Battlefields.

The book is worth buying for the graphical maps alone which are reproductions of WW2 Army Survey Maps, there are also Day walk stage maps, elevation height profile maps are also provided and importantly maps showing wartime location and movement of troops in the Battle.
Field Guide to the Kokoda Track An Historical Guide to the Lost Battlefields Book is dedicated to a veteran of Kokoda, Stan Bisset. Stan was a member of the 14th Battalion Militia which fought on the Kokoda track.   
After the history description of each Battle the Author also has a Honour Roll of the Australians killed during that particular battle . book also includes Gona Buna and Sanananda Battles
Excellent book
