Hardback. Zustand: New. In Australian Battalion Commanders in the Second World War, Garth Pratten explores, for the first time, the background, role and conduct of the commanding officers of Australian infantry battalions in World War II. Despite their vital role as the lynchpins of the battlefield, uniting the senior officers with the soldiers who fought, the battalion commanders have previously received scant attention in contemporary military history. This book redresses the balance, providing a gripping, meticulously researched and insightful account that charts the development of Australia's infantry commanding officers from part-time, ill-prepared, amateurs to seasoned veterans who, although still not professional soldiers, deserved the title of professional men of war. Drawing on extensive and original archival material, Pratten recreates battle scenes and brings to light many diverse personalities. It is a story of men confronting the timeless challenges of military leadership - mastering their own fear and discomfort - in order to motivate and inspire their troops to endure the maelstrom of war. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Professor Emeritus David Horner AM FASSA is one of Australia's greatest military historians and its fifth official historian of war and military operations. Few who undertake research in the field can do so without consulting his prodigious, authoritative and definitive publications. Serving for 25 years in the Australian Army before joining The Australian National University, Horner is the epitome of the soldier-scholar and has played a key role in establishing military history as an academic discipline in Australia.This volume honours Horner's long career of service to history and the nation. Authors pay tribute to Horner's legacy by engaging with his scholarship, applying his conclusions to new case studies and contexts, reflecting and expanding on the subjects he addressed and the methodologies he employed, and pushing the boundaries of the discipline he was instrumental in founding. The breadth of Horner's research is demonstrated by the subjects and themes they address, including strategic planning and policy, command, multinational operations, intelligence and defence policy. Military History Supremo both underscores Horner's contribution to Australia's military and intelligence history and highlights the vibrancy and relevance of the field today.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 680 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This volume explores the Australian government's peacekeeping efforts in Africa and the Americas from 1992 to 2005.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The Limits of Peacekeeping highlights the Australian government's peacekeeping efforts in Africa and the Americas from 1992 to 2005. Changing world power structures and increased international cooperation saw a boom in Australia's peacekeeping operations between 1991 and 1995. The initial optimism of this period proved to be misplaced, as the limits of the United Nations and the international community to resolve deep-seated problems became clear. There were also limits on how many missions a middle-sized country like Australia could support. Restricted by the size of the armed forces and financial and geographic constraints, peacekeeping was always a secondary task to ensuring the defence of Australia. Faith in the effectiveness of peacekeeping reduced significantly, and the election of the Howard Coalition Government in 1996 confined peacekeeping missions to the near region from 19962001. This volume is an authoritative and compelling history of Australia's changing attitudes towards peacekeeping. Volume IV of The Official History of Australian Peacekeeping, Humanitarian and Post-Cold War Operations explores the Australian government's peacekeeping efforts in Africa and the Americas from 1992 to 2005. It is an authoritative and compelling history of Australia's changing attitudes towards peacekeeping.
