A comprehensive overview of Australia’s military history from colonial beginnings through the early 21st century. Jeffrey Grey examines Australia’s involvement in wars and conflicts over more than two centuries, contextualising military developments within broader defence and strategic policy, societal change, and the impact of service on Australian identity and institutions. This updated third edition includes revised material up to the global war on terror, extending the narrative to Australia’s regional and global roles following 9/11. It remains the most authoritative single‑volume treatment of the evolution of Australia’s armed forces, their strategic engagements, and the political and social frameworks that shaped them.
