The War Quartet - A Man, A Family, A Town, A Country by Pat Melville. Ref: B6129

Title: The War Quartet - A Man, A Family, A Town, A Country and a war that changed them all.
Author/Editor: Patricia Melville.
Description: Military historian, George Franki, describes The War Quartet as tour de force. It is an informative, well researched story which chronicles the catastrophic Second World War and the grand delusions of supremacy that contributed to the outbreak of the world wide conflict and charts the ebb and flow of victory and defeat. These themes are interwoven with everyday life in Amaroo and the overseas experiences of its men-folk, ordinary soldiers and POW's and the war correspondent, Declan Dunn. It is written in a racy, readable style, a page turner for anyone interested in history.
"Melville's War Quartet is peopled with a cast of fascinating characters, both Allied and Axis, including the titans of the decade, Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini, great generals such as Montgomery, Bradley, MacArthur, Rommel, and Australian war correspondents such as Alan Moorehead, Chester Wilmot, and the main protagonist Declan Dunn, correspondent and member of the SOE. The principal characters are the citizens of Amaroo, a typical Australian country town - those who stayed home struggling to keep the town going and the families together, the men overseas fighting and dying in North Africa, Greece, Crete, Malaya and New Guinea and those suffering as POWs of the Germans and Japanese."
