Críticas:

This book provides so much detail, that it is, in effect, an encyclopaedia of Australia's military history. An excellent and very important publication. (Asia Pacific Shipping)

Anyone undertaking any kind of professional research into Australia's military history or the history of Australian military events would find this book invaluable. Equally, even the amateur historian would find it both fascinating and useful. (Asia Pacific Shipping)

Reseña del editor:

Defence of the nation is one of the fundamental obligations of government. For much of the first century of the Commonwealth of Australia that obligation has been tested - in two world wars, and in a series of other military engagements. The military reputation that has grown out of these defining moments in Australian history has been a significant factor in moulding Australians' views of themselves, yet service matters have not often attracted any great degree of pulic interest. The Australian Centenary History of Defence explains the complexities of this essential strand of the Commonwealth's first century - the successes and the failures, the progress and the setbacks, in peace and war.
