The Civilian Warfare (1988) By Lance Peters
 
Riveting and suspenseful, packed with vivid incidents and authentic detail, The Civilian War Zone is a remarkable thriller set in the ostensibly peaceful city of Sydney during World War II. 
 
But in fact, Sydney's inhabitants are victims of the war. For they are reeling not just from the sudden threat of Japanese invasion offshore but also from the American invasion in their midst. And from what they learn from their encounters with the US military personnel is that there's nothing like a war to sanctify paranoia, to make racism patriotic and to turn old friends into enemies.
