'In Pacific 360 the story unfolds from all perspectives. It takes you inside the horror of Australian POW camps in Changi, along the Thai-Burma Railway and into the muddy hell of the Kokoda Track; it looks behind the scenes at the mobilizing on the home front and reveals the plans of some in the Japanese High Command to invade Australia; it delves into the relationship between the Australian government and General Douglas MacArthur and uncovers the tensions and delights caused by the presence of the million US service men stationed here.'
