This book represents a new, expanded and substantially updated edition of one of the most acclaimed overviews of Australian military history available. As well as providing a detailed chronological narrative of the wars in which Australia has been involved, it discusses the evolution of defense policy in peace and war, and the impact of war and military service on civilian society. In addition, the book considers how national security and defense policy is being shaped at the end of the twentieth century in a rapidly changing world.
