The Climate of Courage is a 1954 novel by Australian writer Jon Cleary. It is set during World War II and involves a group of Australian soldiers who have returned from service in the Middle East. The novel falls into two parts: the soldiers on leave in Sydney, where they engage in various romantic entanglements and experience the famous submarine attack on Sydney, then taking part in a patrol during the New Guinea Campaign.[1] The book was partly based on Cleary's own experiences of the war and was very popular, selling 28,000 copies in the UK during its first week of publication.[2][3]
