Eagle And Lamb (2017) By Noel Kentish
 
Leonard Kentish, aged 35, was the only Australian captured by enemy forces in Australia during World War 2. In January 1943, he was travelling on a naval supply vessel in North Australia when it was bombed by a Japanese floatplane. The pilot, believing his superiors wanted information, landed on the ocean and captured Kentish. Why only one prisoner? Why him? Within his story is that of his wife, Violet, and their son and two daughters. It describes her courageous struggle as a single parent to raise their children during her three-year quest to find him and an account of the War Crimes tribunal that brought three criminals face to face with the consequences of their actions. Written by his son, drawing from family records and public sources, Eagle and Lamb combines personal memoir, history, and biography.
