LOVE LUCK AND LARCENY: MEMOIRS FROM BROOME 1942 (Non-fiction), by Cambridge scholar John Thompson-Gray, tells stories of lives deflected by the Battle at Broome. It flies under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, sinks submarines, answers enemy fire, rescues the stranded, survives POW camps, does aerobatics, finds romance, escapes from Red Russia, ditches in the English Channel, develops the Zero fighter, survives cyclones, stitches battle wounds, collects Luck, snares cold case diamond thieves and romps through recent history. The memoir of Aboriginal-European sea Captain Alfred Brown shows that a father's love can be an example to us all, while the power of Divine Love underwrites the life of missionary surgeon Dr Jean Davies. Shibata's dedication to the Zero fighter and Lamade's dedication to USS Houston are stories of flying sailors. New research reveals untold stories of luck, love and grand larceny. In many cases the woman's heroism is as significant as that of her partner and this is captured in six memoirs of love affairs: Shadforth and Brown, Macherez and Winckel, Welter and Droste, Shepherdson and Hasselo, Hardwiger and Woods, Linnet and Smirnov. Jack Palmer's love of the beachcomber life becomes a Grand Larceny 'Whodunit' when thirty thousand diamonds disappear from a plane shot down during the attack. Readers are invited to sleuth along.

"A thoughtful book, rather than an academic book, with lots of insights for men who are about manly action in life challenges!"Anthony McGavin has a doctorate in Social Science from the University of Melbourne and a Master of Theology of Catholic Theological College, Melbourne, Australia. Of his impetus in writing he says:When I was quite young my father fell ill and died when I was 8. I think I was 30 when I first cried about not having a father. I've now had a half-lifetime of involvement with young men, being mentor and companion to them, and I've learned a lot from them. But the final prompt to write this book came when I realised just how lop-sided is the maturity of many older men.The maturation process is one to be engaged in each life era if one is to live in a rounded and zestful way. And so I write this book for young men and older men who want some pointers about living lives of manly maturity.
