5.0 out of 5 stars essential for those interested in Aussie military history
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 June 2001
As one would expect from a book whose contributors seem to include most of the current leading military historians in Australia, this book is an essential reference. The 800+ entries cover all periods from the settlement of the continent until the present. It is also liberally illustrated with maps and photos.
I particularly value the thematic essays which cover a wide variety of topics from the Anzac Legend to War Art.
