An excellent organisational history of the Australian Army. Offers a fresh perspective on the development of Australian military policy. Palazzo is a sympathetic analyst, yet one willing to identify the problems across the board, from government policies that chop and change and frequently penny pinch, to an Army which has long struggled to align its self-identity with that demanded of it by government at any point in time.
