The War In Ng

And Elsewhere

Two of the best war books sver written by Australians are now in paperback: No Moon Tonight by D. E. Charlwood, who produced something of a :lassic about the exploits of young Australians in Bomber Command in England during the war; and T. A. G. Hungerford’s The Ridge and the River, a novel based on jungle fighting in New Guinea. Both are as gripping now as when they were first pub ished—which is remarkable for books of this kind.

Hungerford went on to write nther excellent novels, although nothing seems to come from him these days; but if Charlwood ever wrote again, we have not beard of it,—J.T. (Both published by Pacific Books; 80c each).
