We head to the World War 2 section of Authorised to present two books telling of the extraordinary feats of Australian soldiers in the heat of battle. Tom Gilling's Bastard Behind the Lines tells the Jock McLaren story, including escaping from two POW camps and his personal guerrilla war against the Japanese. Phillip Bradley details the four month campaign the diggers waged to secure a coveted strategic fortress in the mountains of New Guinea in his book The Battle for Shaggy Ridge.
