This collection examines how Australia connected military operations to its wider strategy during the first two decades of the Cold War. Edited by Peter Dean and Tristan Moss, it considers the pressures facing the armed forces after the Second World War and the country’s changing commitments across Asia and the Pacific.
Contributors discuss intelligence and ASIO, the Korean War, the Malayan Emergency, the Far East Strategic Reserve, confrontation with Indonesia and defence responsibilities in Papua New Guinea. The final chapter reflects on an Australian approach to warfare. Original maps, notes and an index support the comparison of strategic aims with the practical demands of particular campaigns.
