The Furious Days: The Relief of Darwin

Second Hand (Hardcover)

Excellent Condition

The Furious Days is the first-hand account of one of the most extraordinary events in Australia's history.

For six days after Cyclone Tracy devastated Darwin, Major-General Alan Stretton exercised supreme control (without any legal authority to support him) over 45,000 inhabitants in a major Australian city.

General Stretton has carefully reconstructed the events which took place between Christmas Day and New Year's Eve 1974 when the cyclone savaged Darwin, and its dazed inhabitants came under his control.
