The Coastwatchers risked everything for victory. This is one of their stories. Will Red, a boxer turned novice sailor aboard two small Allied Intelligence boats during World War II, survive the dangers that lurk behind enemy lines? Tasked with spying and supporting the secretive Coastwatchers deep in Japanese-occupied territory, he faces betrayals, relentless enemy pursuit, aerial bombardment, and the constant threat of disease in the tropical wilderness. Inspired by true events, Wooden Ships and Iron Men is a gripping tale of adventure, courage, and endurance – a story of family, passion, and the indomitable Aussie spirit, laced with moments of humour amid the horror of war.
