Set in March 1942, Khaki Town transports readers to Townsville, Queensland, during World War II. With Singapore fallen and Darwin bombed, Australia braces for potential invasion. Val Callahan, the publican of The Brown’s Hotel, finds herself profiting from the influx of soldiers. Overnight, the small city transforms into a bustling military hub for over 70,000 troops. Tensions rise as Australian soldiers resent the well-fed American GIs, and racial discord brews within the American ranks due to the presence of Black soldiers. When a tragic event escalates, a young Lyndon B. Johnson is dispatched to investigate, uncovering a hidden chapter of wartime history.
