"Sales/posting to the USA suspended". Card covers 28pp. A little wear on edges; A very good copy.

Building on an assertion that more than a single government agency is required to counter asymmetric threats, this paper describes four means by which Australia, and by association the ADF, already possesses asymmetric advantages over our enemies. This paper suggests how we may utilise our asymmetric advantages in order to enable our nation to fight and win against elusive, adaptive, and determined enemies.
