Book, Allen & Unwin, with Australian War Memorial, Crises and commitments: the politcs and diplomacy of Australia's involvement in Southeast Asian conflicts 1948-1965, 1992

Summary

Peter Edwards splendidly researched, authoritative study is official history at its best. By explaining the sources of Australia's commitment in Vietnam, and the impact of that commitment in Australia, it does a great deal to elucidate the larger, international dimensions of a war that is too often discussed only in terms of the primary participants.
