Brenda at Goodreads writes, 'Enemies within these Shores by Aussie author Debbie Terranova is based largely on fact; characters fictionalised, also the small township of Wooranoora doesn't exist but similar towns in far north Queensland do. Luigi is based on the author's father-in-law, and the author's notes on research etc. is fascinating and makes the story authentic. The emotion and trauma for the men who were called "enemy aliens" for no reason other than heritage was tragic. I thoroughly enjoyed my first by this author, and have no hesitation in recommending Enemies within these Shores highly to fans of Australian historical fiction, set during WW2.'
