This book is the single most useful reference for key statistical data on Australian defence to 2001. Comprising a historiographical Introduction and 122 contributions from various contributors, the numerous tables, charts and graphs on topics as varied as defence expenditure, military strengths, casualty figures, national service enlistments and more, remain relevant for historical context. While the section on historiography is now dated, the book continues to be an important foundation for research.
