内容説明

How competent were Australias politicians, military leaders and advisers in formulating their own war strategy? How much did the performance of Australian troops on the battlefield affect the country's ability to influence allied strategy? Despite the well-known exploits of Australian servicemen in a score of famous battles, Australia's contribution to the war was ultimately determined by the strategic policy-makers in Canberra, Washington and London. David Horner examines Australia's higher policy decisions and investigates the political forces that were to ultimately determine Australia's contribution to the war. "High Command" presents the remarkable, full story of the political battles behind the military battles.
