THE LAST BASTION takes a sneak peek into the complex minds of Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Australias John Curtin, and General Douglas MacArthur during the epic battle of World War Two. Immerse yourself in a world where tactics and wits were your only hope of survival. 'The Last Bastion' is the true story behind why Australia did not fall to the Japanese during the war in the early 1940's due largely to the credit of a handful of extraordinary men, Labor Party members of the inner-cabinet of Australia's Coalition War Government. Their leader was the unlikeliest of heroes - John Curtin.
