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. 606 $aMilitary history 607 $aAustralia$xHistory, Military 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMilitary history. 676 $a355.009 676 $a355.00994 701 $aStockings$b Craig A.
