Kokoda Commander | A Life of Major-General “Tubby” Allen |

Kokoda Commander is a military biography of Major-General Arthur Samuel “Tubby” Allen, one of the Australian Army’s best-known commanders of the Second World War. The book traces his earlier service in the First World War, including battalion-level leadership and decorations for leadership, before moving to his later commands in North Africa, Greece, Syria and New Guinea.

This title is of particular interest to military history readers because it examines command, leadership and decision-making at a critical point in the Kokoda campaign. It also addresses the controversy surrounding Allen’s removal from command, making it valuable for readers interested in how reputations are formed, challenged and reassessed in wartime history.
