	Military history of Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Military history was also a facet of Cambridge's aforementioned Australian History Series and again it is instructive that one of the few titles to run to a reprint in that series was Jeffrey Grey's Military History of Australia.
		His discussion of misplaced military strategy, an expeditionary mentality that bound the fortunes of Australia's forces with the ambitions of one or other foreign empires, is at once engaging and challenging.
		These women are not military personnel, their Red Cross badges signal their civilian status; their task not so much one of war as of mercy; they will be paid nothing for their efforts and at home their work will earn no medals and no pensions.

	The (Royal) Marines & the British Army in Australia from 1788 to 1913
		Australia was until the 1840s the most distant of Britain's colonies, but its military lodgers were remote in other senses-especially socially, from the colonies' convict (and many of their free) inhabitants.
		They fought in one of the most prolonged frontier wars in the history of the British empire, and for the first half of their stay were probably more frequently in action than the garrison of any other colony besides that of southern Africa.
		For the British army, dazzled as it was by notions of martial glory, probably did not heed the lessons of its fights on the Australian frontier: that war, and especially war waged against primitive peoples, is nasty and decidedly lacking in glory.

		‘Military’ belongs to the formal deployment of armed force by the authorised government.
		Since the identity of that authorised state has varied over the history of Australia, ie during the period of white society since 1788, the activities here recorded vary in focus.
		Then, with significant frankness and sustained anger, Grey reviews the way military force was deployed in aid of the civil power on the frontier, that is to kill Aborigines.

		Dallas narrates in meticulous detail the conflicts, contradictions, motives, and counter-motives that marked the end of the greatest military conflict in modern history and established lasting patterns of deceit, uncertainty, and distrust out of which the Cold War was born.
		Very rarely is a book published that not only causes military historians and professionals to significantly alter their thinking about a conflict or battle but additionally becomes the new definitive account by which all other similar references are judged.
		Stalingrad was a military versus military conflict fought along conventional lines albeit driven to incredible extremes due to the fanatical nature of the ideologies involved and the maniacal personalities of Hitler and Stalin.
