HMAS Australia hunts down Japan's naval presence with little success. Morale is low, homosexuality rife. Two stokers - Albert and Ted - are accused of murder. Only one of them is guilty. A court martial sentences both men to hang. On appeal, the High Court of Australia holds the sentence wrong in law. Together the ship's captain, the stokers' defence counsel and a senior Labour minister seize this legal impasse as a political opportunity to claw back naval power from Whitehall. Albert and Ted, meanwhile, await their final sentence by spending eight bleak years in three prisons suffering one another's company. In this true personal story, it is Albert who proves himself a fighter and a man of spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Crosland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1326689320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781326689322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.41d","brand":"Judith Crosland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800128860415,"sku":"9781326689322","price":13.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/murder-on-hmas-australia-judith-crosland-9781326689322","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
