He served as Secretary of the Defence Department from 1970 to 1979, the last decade of his career, having previously served as Secretary of the Department of External Affairs (later renamed Foreign Affairs) from 1954 to 1965. Tange wrote this account in his last years. Controversies from his time in Defence, including those associated with 'the Tange report' and 'the Tange reforms', echo to this day, and it is still easy to identify both staunch admirers and vitriolic critics in defence and public service circles. One of the major themes implicit in this memoir is the extent to which his administrative decisions and policy advice in Defence in the 1970s were based on his experience in External Affairs in the 1950s and 1960s. This account shows what lessons he derived from that experience and how he applied those lessons when he, rather unexpectedly, became Secretary of the Defence Department."--Provided by publisher.Canberra papers on strategy and defence ;169.Civil serviceAustraliaBiographyNational securityAustraliaHistoryAustraliaMilitary policyaustraliacivil servicehistorynational securitymilitary policybiographyCanberraDepartment of Defence (Australia)Gough WhitlamMalcolm FraserPrime Minister of AustraliaCivil serviceNational securityHistory.355.6092Tange Arthur905059Edwards Peter1945-Australian National University.Strategic and Defence Studies Centre.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910137555703321Defence policy-making2024147UNINA
