He's not Coming Home (2005) By Gillian Nikakis
 
'He's Not Coming Home' is the story about the occupation of Rabaul by the Japanese in World War II, written by the daughter of one of the Australian men who died there. This is a moving and intriguing account of a time and a place that still resonates for many Australians, and of tragic wartime events whose effects still reverberate in many families.
 
In her work, Gillian describes her lifelong search for knowledge about her father, a man she barely remembers, drawing on primary sources. As she follows the trail, she uncovers subsequent layers to the untold story of what actually happened in Rabaul – including the fate of the prisoners on the Montevideo Maru and questionable behaviour by the Australian government.
