From Aboriginal resistance and invasion to Australia's recent involvement in East Timor, this record disproves the incorrectly memorialized and so-called gallant deeds of past Australian servicemen. Provocative and opinionated, this record attempts to correct the historical record.Military historyAustraliaHistory, MilitaryElectronic books.Military history.355.009355.00994Stockings Craig A.
