Author Peter Mitchell talks about Under the Same Moon
Join author Peter Mitchell as he shares insights into his debut book, Under the Same Moon—a powerful historical narrative that offers a personal exploration of one of Australia’s lesser-known campaigns in the Middle East.
Under the same Moon intricately weaves together the lives of a family, their sons, and the men of the battalion they join, all set against the backdrop of a bygone Australia during World War II.
Based on unpublished letters, oral histories, and archival materials, this compelling narrative explores the bravery, bonds, and heartbreak of war, as well as the quiet strength of families left behind.
