Hard cover dust wrapper, 308pp b&w photos. Light edge wear; a near fine copy. 1918: Year of Victory is an account of one of the most significant and often misunderstood events of the last century. The Australian War Memorial's Ashley Ekins presents a compelling account of the world's first great war and its legacy. The deaths of the last remaining survivors of the First World War revived poignant memories and re-established a vigorous debate as to what, in the end, it all meant. Was the war, in effect, a futile 1561 days of incredible carnage paving the way for yet more misery, death and destruction with the Second World War? Or did the end of the war create the modern world, shaping our eras attitudes, social relations, art and culture? The chapters in this book had their origins in an international conference, 1918: Year of Victory, convened by the AWM in Canberra in November 2008 to mark the ninetieth anniversary of the end of the Great War. Lively, authoritative and wide-ranging presentations were made by world leading scholars, revealing new thinking and challenging many of the assumptions and common perceptions surrounding the conflict. Authors include: Jay Winter, Robin Prior, Gary Sheffield, Elizabeth Greehalgh, Meleah Ward, Ashley Ekins, Peter Pedersen, Tim Cook, Peter Hart, and Martin Crotty.

Hardback. This eighth volume in the "Official History" series tells the story of the Australian Army in Vietnam in the most tumultuous period of the Vietnam War. The book shows how the Australian Task Force coped with the difficulties and dangers of operating with two infantry battalions and limited resources against an elusive and aggressive enemy. It describes the construction of the controversial barrier minefield and the consequences and failure of this project. It also covers the pivotal Tet Offensive and the Australian response which culminated in the fierce actions around Fire Support Bases Coral and Balmoral as Australian soldiers fought their most sustained and intensive battles of the Vietnam War. Included is a new interpretation of the failures in planning and execution of operations on the eve of the major battles around Fire Support Base Coral which almost resulted in disaster for the Australian force. Authors Ian McNeill and Ashley Ekins have had unrestricted access to official government records, including highly classified defence files. 2003, First edition, first printing. A near fine copy only marked by very light rubbing of the spine ends. The d/w is fine. A superb copy. Scans available if required.

Hardback. 1. Fighting to the Finish tells the story of the Australian Army in Vietnam during the peak years of the Australian military commitment to Vietnam War. As the ninth and final volume of The Official History of Australia's Involvement in Southeast Asian Conflicts 1948-1975, this is the successor to the acclaimed To Long Tan by Ian McNeill and On the Offensive by Ian McNeill and Ashley Ekins. This volume describes the activities of the Australian Task Force in Vietnam during its peak years, from the middle of 1968 to the end of 1971. For most of this period, the army maintained a force of over 6000 troops in Vietnam. Eleven infantry battalions and their supporting arms undertook tours of duty and carried out almost 100 major operations. Australian soldiers fought a difficult war on several fronts simultaneously, conducting reconnaissance-in-force operations in remote enemy-dominated areas of Phuoc Tuy province, pacification operations to provide security in the populous regions, and civic action and reconstruction tasks to improve the lives of the local people and to help restore government control. The pace of operations was unrelenting and intense, and the cost was high - 250 soldiers were killed in action or died of wounds and other causes during this period. This book provides a comprehensive account of operations, actions and their context, including a fresh interpretation of the fierce clash between Australian infantry and armour and North Vietnamese Army forces in the village of Binh Ba. It also includes the most authoritative account of the clearing of the controversial barrier minefield that caused high numbers of Australian casualties. It covers the phased withdrawal of the task force as enemy pressure increased the burden and dangers for the remaining soldiers; and, for the first time, an account of the aftermath of the war in Phuoc Tuy province leading up to the defeat of South Vietnam in 1975. Authors Ashley Ekins and Ian McNeill have had unrestricted access to official government records, including highly classified defence files and operational records. They have supplemented this material with extensive interviews with participants, personal papers and correspondence, communist Vietnamese histories and discussions with former Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army soldiers. Their work is marked by unflinching critical analysis and candour about the successes and failures of the Australian Army experience in Vietnam and covers the Australian involvement at virtually every level, from the senior commanders and planners to the experiences of infantrymen on patrol and in contact with the enemy. The product of years of intensive work, Fighting to the Finish throws light on the experience of Australian soldiers in Vietnam in a way that has not been possible before. 2012, First edition, first printing. A fine copy in a fine d/w. This copy has been SIGNED (not inscribed) by Ashley Ekins on the title page. Scans available if required.
