About This Item

Hachette Australia, 2012. New book, 367 pages. During World War II, a small band of Australians volunteered to work defusing mines dropped in and around Britain. One False Move is their untold story. Combining incredible bravery with the precision of surgeons, they defused these lethal devices - often buried in residential areas, submerged in mud, or deep underwater - at huge risk to their own lives. The mines were often booby trapped by the Nazis, and these men came to recognise the products of the twisted minds and methods of the individual German mine makers. In the ultimate demonstration of skill and bravery, Australian Leon Goldsworthy, specialised in underwater defusing, working at depth, and mostly by touch alone, he worked out how to defuse the 'K' mine. In so doing, he helped to neutralise the German mine defenses before the invasion of Normandy, leading to the victory of the Allied forces. Truly these men were the bravest of the brave.. Soft Cover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
