From the federation of a nation to the dawn of a new millennium, The Australian Army: A History of its Organisation 1901–2001 chronicles one hundred years of institutional evolution, strategic transformation, and military identity. Albert Palazzo traces the Australian Army's structural development across a century marked by two World Wars, colonial campaigns, Cold War deployments, and peacekeeping operations — revealing how a fledgling colonial force forged itself into a modern, professional fighting institution shaped by both global conflict and uniquely Australian circumstances. Palazzo presents a meticulously researched institutional history that moves beyond the battlefield to examine the administrative, doctrinal, and organisational decisions that defined the Army's character. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources and official records, the work illustrates how policy, politics, and personnel intersected to mould the force over successive decades. Written with authoritative clarity and analytical precision, this is an indispensable reference for military historians, defence scholars, and anyone seeking to understand the sinews of Australian military power — and what they reveal about the nation that built them.
