Description
Helping neighbors and partners stabilize their political systems and work towards peace and security is a core activity for the modern Australian Defence Force. The Long Road analyzes the successes and failures of ADF's 'train, advise, assist' missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Papua New Guinea, Bougainville, the Solomon Islands, South Vietnam and Uganda. With a diverse array of contributions from media commentators Chris Masters and Ian McPhedran, politicians Kevin Andrews and David Feeney, academics, aid workers and military personnel, The Long Road analyses Australia's efforts to help its neighbours and partners avoid armed conflict.
