Under the Same Moon with author Peter Mitchell

A powerful and moving author talk that brings to light a rarely told chapter of Australia’s wartime history. Under The Same Moon follows the gripping true story of a group of Australian soldiers unexpectedly stranded in the Middle East and diverted to Java—just as it teeters on the edge of chaos. As these men face the unknown, their families back home are left in silence, grappling with fear and uncertainty. Through deeply personal accounts, this book shines a light on the courage, confusion, and quiet endurance of both the soldiers and their loved ones—united by hope, and the same moon hanging over them all.
