Abstract
The book describes and analyses a secret Australian operation conducted behind Japanese lines in WWII Borneo. It draws attention especially to the critical role played in the operation by the island's indigenous Dayak peoples. This role was overlooked in the official files and in most subsequent accounts. The book is written for both a popular and a scholarly readership.
