Publisher Description

A gritty true crime exposé of Sydney's dark underbelly during WWII.
World War Noir reveals the hidden side of Sydney during World War II, where crime and corruption thrived amidst the global conflict. Authors Michael Duffy and Nick Hordern delve into the city's underworld, exposing the unpatriotic behaviors of some Australians who prioritized personal gain over national duty.

This raw and broad-ranging tale challenges conventional narratives and uncovers a grittier truth about a city grappling with social inequality and moral ambiguity. Perfect for readers of true crime and Australian history.
