Biography & Memoir History Australiana
The Private War of the Spotters by Alex E. Perrin brings to life a little-told chapter of World War II through the eyes of an Australian wireless unit. This 1990 hardcover blends military history with personal memoir, tracing the secretive work of spotters whose signals shaped campaigns across the Pacific.
Bound in sturdy cloth and still wearing its original dust jacket, this copy shows only gentle shelf wear and light scuffing to the jacket edges. Inside, the pages are crisp, unmarked, and free of foxing or dog-ears, promising a clean reading experience from start to finish.
A neat ink inscription on the front endpaper adds a touch of provenance without claiming author signature. Coming from a smoke-free home, the book feels tight and ready for the shelf of any collector interested in Australian military biography or the technical side of wartime communications.
