Australia's counterinsurgencies : a brief history / Jeff Grey - 2008

Argues that Australia's approach to counterinsurgency owes much to supposed British excellence in this field, but that Australia's experience has tended since the second world war to be as a smaller partner in someone else's wars e.g. of the British in the Malay Emergency and Confrontation, and of the Americans in Vietnam. Suggests that Australian experience should be used to develop Australian counterinsurgency doctrine and that the historical record should be used as a guide to concepts rather specific actions.
