Since it was first published in 1982, High Command had become the standard reference for anyone interested in Australia’s participation in the Second World War, this edition was originally published in 1992. The 50th anniversary of battles such as Singapore, Coral Sea and Kokoda in 1942 re-awakened interest in these milestones in Australia’s struggle for independence. 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.How competent were our politicians, military leaders and advisers in formulating our own war strategy? How much did the performance of Australian troops on the battlefield affect our ability to influence allied strategy?The author describes the clash between Generals Rowell and Blamey in Greece. He reveals the impact of the secretary of the Department of Defence, Sir Frederick Shedden, on strategic policy-making. He analyses the role of intelligence, especially signals intelligence, in allied strategy. He shows how Blamey’s miscalculation in 1944 removed any chance of Australian troops joining the Americans in the Philippines. And he reveals how a British admiral challenged the authority of the Australian government.High Command presents the remarkable, full story of the political battles behind the military battles.

Peacekeeping has been a significant part of Australia's overseas military engagement since the end of the Second World War. Yet it is a part of the country's history that has been largely neglected until the 1990s, and even since then interest has been slow to develop. In the last sixty years, between 30,000 and 40,000 Australian military personnel and police have served in more than 50 peacekeeping missions in at least 27 different conflicts. This insightful, engaging and superbly-edited volume approaches Australian peacekeeping from four angles: its history, its agencies, some personal reflections, and its future. Contributors discuss the distinction between peacekeeping and war-fighting, the importance of peacekeeping in terms of public policy, the problems of multinational command, and the specialist contributions of the military, civilian police, mine-clearers, weapons inspectors and diplomats.

This volume of the Official History of Australian Peacekeeping, Humanitarian and Post-Cold War Operations is the first comprehensive study of Australia's role in the peacekeeping and peace enforcement operations that developed at the end of the Cold War. It recounts vital missions including Namibia (1989-90), Iran (1988-90) and Pakistan/Afghanistan (1989-93), and focuses primarily on Australia's reaction to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990, including its maritime interception operations, and its controversial participation in the 1991 Gulf War. With exclusive access to Australian Government records and through extensive interviews, David Horner explains the high-level political background to these activities and analyses the conduct of the missions. He brings to life the little-known, yet remarkable stories of many individuals who took part. This is an authoritative and compelling history of how members of the Australian Defence Force engaged with the world at a crucial time in international affairs.

With 30 years of experience behind him, David Horner knows the pitfalls of a life in ministry. In 7 Challenges Pastors Face, Horner shows you how to- balance the demands of your calling- sharpen your vision- grow a team- cultivate humilityDeveloping a well-balanced approach to responsibilities and passions will equip you to thrive in the face of the many challenges of ministry. This book can show you the way.

Transform writing lessons with 100+ fun, practical, curriculum-friendly activities. Cracking Creative Writing in KS2 gives teachers ready-to-use tasks that spark creativity, build skills and help pupils take pride in their writing.Writing doesn't have to be dull, slow, or a chore. It can be quick, fun, and incredibly rewarding - and this book proves it!Inside, you'll find over 100 tried-and-tested activities designed to spark creativity in Key Stage 2 children. Each activity kicks off with a worked example, showing exactly the kind of piece they're aiming for. Then, with clear step-by-step guidance, children are encouraged to craft their own writing - something they can be genuinely proud of. The whole idea? To put the writer in charge of their work, not the other way round.Activities take around 30-60 minutes and cover everything from creative approaches to tricky grammar to playful ways of exploring language. Some are simple, others more challenging, but all of them are rooted in real writing - no boring, disconnected exercises here! Instead, children learn by experimenting with their own words, discovering how language works, why rules matter, and - most importantly - what exciting things they can do with it.These aren't just "free writing" tasks. Each activity has a clear challenge, structure, and purpose - almost like a game plan. Sometimes that means using a dictionary or thesaurus to stretch an idea, and children are guided on that right from the start.At its heart, this book is about showing children that writing matters. Teachers want children to succeed at it, and children themselves want to feel good at it. With the right tools - and a dash of fun - writing can become not only a skill but a source of genuine enjoyment.

From spy school missions to tongue twisters, Cracking English Grammar in KS2 brings grammar to life with 100+ fun activities that boost skills, spark creativity and make writing unforgettable.Every aspect of the National Curriculum for grammar and punctuation is brought to life in context. Pupils will practise key concepts through fun and engaging tasks - from writing poems and tongue twisters, to experimenting with sentences and clauses, performing punctuation, and even joining "spy school" to crack tricky spellings. Along the way, they'll tackle everything from fronted adverbials to modal verbs, but in ways that feel purposeful, memorable and enjoyable.Each flexible activity is designed to take no more than an hour and can be easily slotted into any scheme of work. Because the tasks are written directly for pupils, they work well for independent use, paired work, or as whole-class teaching led by the teacher.As pupils play with language, they will develop a deeper understanding of how it works, build their confidence, and grow as competent, enthusiastic writers. These activities don't just tick off curriculum points - they make writing come alive.

Cracking Creative Writing in KS1 brings together over 75 tried-and-tested activities designed to help children in Years 1 and 2 grow as confident, imaginative writers.Through playful exploration of language, pupils are encouraged not just to write, but to enjoy writing - experimenting with grammar and punctuation in meaningful, creative ways.Each activity begins with a short stimulus - a poem or passage - to spark ideas and inspire children. Clear, step-by-step teacher notes then guide pupils towards producing their own writing that they can be genuinely proud of. Every task is carefully linked to the grammar, spelling and punctuation requirements of the National Curriculum, so you can be sure it supports key learning objectives.The activities are designed to fit comfortably within a single lesson, making them easy to slot into planning. They're also highly adaptable, with built-in suggestions for differentiation, so you can adjust tasks to suit a range of abilities.Best of all, children are often surprised by just how much they can achieve in a short space of time. The sense of success and enjoyment they gain helps them see writing not as a chore, but as something exciting, rewarding - and fun.Because writing matters. It matters to us as teachers, and it matters to children too. With the right tools and inspiration, they can not only succeed, but also discover the real joy of writing.

Volume 3 of the official history of Australian peacekeeping, humanitarian and post-cold war operations explores Australia's involvement in six overseas missions following the end of the Gulf War: Cambodia (1991-99); Western Sahara (1991-94); the former Yugoslavia (1992-2004); Iraq (1991); Maritime Interception Force operations (1991-99); and the contribution to the inspection of weapons of mass destruction facilities in Iraq (1991-99). These missions reflected the increasing complexity of peacekeeping, as it overlapped with enforcement of sanctions, weapons inspections, humanitarian aid, election monitoring and peace enforcement. Granted full access to all relevant Australian Government records, David Horner and John Connor provide readers with a comprehensive and authoritative account of Australia's peacekeeping operations in Asia, Africa and Europe.

The Limits of Peacekeeping highlights the Australian government's peacekeeping efforts in Africa and the Americas from 1992 to 2005. Changing world power structures and increased international cooperation saw a boom in Australia's peacekeeping operations between 1991 and 1995. The initial optimism of this period proved to be misplaced, as the limits of the United Nations and the international community to resolve deep-seated problems became clear. There were also limits on how many missions a middle-sized country like Australia could support. Restricted by the size of the armed forces and financial and geographic constraints, peacekeeping was always a secondary task to ensuring the defence of Australia. Faith in the effectiveness of peacekeeping reduced significantly, and the election of the Howard Coalition Government in 1996 confined peacekeeping missions to the near region from 1996-2001. This volume is an authoritative and compelling history of Australia's changing attitudes towards peacekeeping.

Volume I of the Official History of Australian Peacekeeping, Humanitarian and Post-Cold War Operations recounts the Australian peacekeeping missions that began between 1947 and 1982, and follows them through to 2006, which is the end point of this series. The operations described in The Long Search for Peace - some long, some short; some successful, some not - represent a long period of learning and experimentation, and were a necessary apprenticeship for all that was to follow. Australia contributed peacekeepers to all major decolonisation efforts: for thirty-five years in Kashmir, fifty-three years in Cyprus, and (as of writing) sixty-one years in the Middle East, as well as shorter deployments in Indonesia, Korea and Rhodesia. This volume also describes some smaller-scale Australian missions in the Congo, West New Guinea, Yemen, Uganda and Lebanon. It brings to life Australia's long-term contribution not only to these operations but also to the very idea of peacekeeping.

In Strategy and Command, David Horner provides an important insight into the strategic decisions and military commanders who shaped Australia's army history from the Boer War to the evolution of the command structure for the Australian Defence Force in the 2000s. He examines strategic decisions such as whether to go to war, the nature of the forces to be committed to the war, where the forces should be deployed and when to reduce the Australian commitment. The book also recounts decisions made by commanders at the highest level, which are passed on to those at the operational level, who are then required to produce their own plans to achieve the government's aims through military operations. Strategy and Command is a compilation of research and writing on military history by one of Australia's pre-eminent military historians. It is a crucial read for anyone interested in Australia's involvement in 20th-century wars.

Bringing together the work of nine leading historians, and superbly illustrated with contemporary photography and colour maps, The Second World War gives readers a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of history’s greatest conflict.The period from 1939 to 1945 saw some of the most devastating and remarkable events in living memory. Labouring beneath a daily burden of fear, sacrifice, deprivation and uncertainty, soldiers and civilians of all nationalities were driven to extremes of selfless loyalty, dogged determination or bitter cruelty by the demands of a world at war. This book tells the stories of the men and women who lived and died during the Second World War, from politicians to factory workers, and from High Command to the conscripted men on the front lines. The experience of war is brought to life through a wealth of contemporary documentation, private writings and historical research, whilst the political, military and historical significance of the war is assessed and examined. From Europe's Western and Eastern Fronts to the war at sea, and from the Pacific to the Mediterranean and North Africa, every fighting front of the Second World War is covered in this truly comprehensive volume.

Accounting has a reputation as a technical and jargon-heavy subject, but there is no reason why those without formal training cannot master the basics of interpreting accounts and making good decisions. Accounting for Non-Accountants assumes no prior knowledge of the subject area and is designed to serve as an introductory text for managers and non-specialists who wish to gain an oversight of the accounting discipline. The book covers both financial and management accounting in sufficient detail to allow data to be interpreted but in a clear and accessible manner so the reader can quickly gain an understanding of the basic principles of the subject area. Now in its 12th edition, Accounting for Non-Accountants has been fully updated to the latest regulatory requirements including the UK GAAP framework, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Accounting Standards (IAS). The final chapter focuses on the impact of changes in the economic environment on businesses and there are introductions to areas including tax, transfer pricing and creative accounting. This practical guide includes review questions in each chapter, with answers and workings where appropriate, and is supported online by over 200 questions and a glossary to develop a firm understanding of all topics.
