As war with Japan was imminent, the British laid minefields off Hong Kong and Singapore; the Dutch in the Netherlands East Indies; and the Australians off New Zealand and Australia, in an attempt to prevent enemy invasion. Ships hastily converted to this task were referred to as "night raiders." Duty aboard a "floating ammunition dump" was hazardous enough; missions carried out under the cloak of darkness increased the odds of survival in enemy waters. As MacArthur, Halsey, and Spruance's forces advanced toward Japan, minesweepers worked with "night raiders"--clearing waters off landing beaches, while minelayers strove to deny the enemy freedom of the sea. Australian seaplanes ("Black Cats") flew long, perilous night-missions to mine Japanese harbors, and British submarines and planes joined in the attack on shipping. Late in the war, USAAF bombers ringed the Japanese home islands with thousands of mines. When hostilities ended, war-weary "sweep sailors" remained in Asian waters--ridding the sea of "shipkillers." The little-known efforts of these valiant men are illuminated in this rare look into history. One hundred and forty-four photographs, maps, and diagrams; appendices; and an index to full-names, places and subjects add value to this work.

Описание: For years, they have worked in secret, patiently waiting in the shadows... Now, they have decided to begin the next phase of their plan - a plan that threatens the very nature of human kind. Caleb, a US Marine on leave, is staying with his long-time partner, Darcy. One morning, Darcy receives an email from one of her colleagues. Caleb sees something embedded in the attachments - a file that he recognises from one of his missions. With his work in the military, discovery of the program can only mean one thing - that he and Darcy and in danger. Now that his working and personal lives have overlapped, Caleb must rely on all his training and instincts if he is to keep himself and Darcy alive... Nightfall is the first in a series that examines the nature of the human condition, asking the question - How can you tell black from white, when all that exists are various shades of grey? Nightfall is Peter's debut novel. "Nightfall is an exciting action / adventure that covers the Western United States and regional Australia. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it."
