One of his more recent books acused australian soldiers of not fighting hard enough or being afraid of the enemy, Japan, in world war II which is completely incorrect just because not as many australian soldiors died as others does not mean they did not fight to their best this could be for several other reasons. Like, the fact that the austarlian population is significantly smaller then many of the other allied countries and another unlike the british soldiors australians fought back, they didnt just stand there hoping not to be shot.
