Published in 1980, "Rethinking Australia's Defence" by Ross Babbage is a strategic and policy-focused monograph that argues for a fundamental overhaul of Australia's military posture during a period of shifting global dynamics. Positioned within the genre of political and defence analysis, the book presents a rigorous critique of existing defence strategies and outlines alternative approaches better suited to the nation's geographic realities and emerging security challenges. With detailed appendices, bibliographic references, and a scholarly tone, Babbage constructs a compelling case for reorienting Australia's defence priorities toward self-reliance and regional engagement. This work is essential reading for academics, policymakers, and military professionals interested in Cold War-era defence planning and the evolution of Australian strategic thought.
