Australian Defence and Deterrence: A 2023 Update Kindle Edition

by Robbin Laird (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 2 ratings
See all formats and editions
This is a revised edition of the book originally published in July 2023. The original book was based on the Sir Richard Williams Foundation seminar held in March 2023 which occurred between the announcement of the new submarine program and the release of the strategic defence review at the end of April 2023.

This edition adds the work done at the second 2023 Sir Richard Williams Foundation seminar held on 27 September 2023. The first dealt with the way ahead with regard to deterrence strategy; the second dealt with the expanded role of multi-domain strike as an enabler of that strategy.

The book also includes exclusive interviews as well conducted after the first and second seminars so that original interviews with both ADF personnel and leading Australian strategists are included in the book.
The book brings together in one place a contemporary historical record of Australian thinking about the reset of their defence force and way ahead in defence.

As such, it is a unique volume.
