Description
A blueprint for Australia's strategic position and future in a changing world order.
Can Australia defend itself in the Asian century? How seriously ought we take the risk of war? Do we want to remain a middle power? What kind of strategy, and what Australian Defence Force, do we need?
In this groundbreaking book, Hugh White considers these questions and more. With exceptional clarity and frankness, he makes the case for a reconceived defence of Australia. Along the way, he offers intriguing insights into history, technology and the Australian way of war.
Hugh White is the country's most provocative, revelatory and yet realistic commentator on Australia's strategic and defence orientation. In an age of power politics and armed rivalry in Asia, it is time for fresh thinking.
In this controversial and persuasive contribution, White sets new terms for one of the most crucial conversations Australia needs to have.
