Rod Miller

ROD MILLER was a Sydney auctioneer clearing an estate when he stumbled across an old diary written in code and rhyme. He didn’t throw it away, but launched into years of research to reveal the amazing story of a group of World War II Australian nurses and civilian women who were abandoned by their own government, captured and taken as bargaining chips into the heart of the Japanese Empire. Rod gathered evidence and surviving witnesses and wrote this enthralling book, Lost Women of Rabaul. His first draft remarkably became the basis of the award-winning ABC-TV miniseries Sisters of War. Rod has now retired from his auctioneering business and lives with his wife and three crazy rescue dogs in Sydney. He continues to research the concealed stories of WWII. Author based in Putney, NSW.
