Duntroon: The Royal Military College of Australia, 1911–1986 chronicles the seventy-five-year history of Australia's most prestigious military academy, tracing its founding in the nation's capital through decades of war, peace, and profound institutional transformation. C.D. Coulthard-Clark presents a meticulously researched institutional history that details the college's evolving role in producing the officers who would lead Australian forces across two World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, and beyond.\n\nCoulthard-Clark writes with the authority of a dedicated military historian, weaving together archival records, personal accounts, and broader strategic context to illustrate how Duntroon mirrored the changing face of the Australian Army itself. The work stands as a landmark contribution to Australian military historiography, revealing the tensions between tradition and modernity, discipline and innovation, that have always underpinned the making of a military officer. For anyone drawn to the deeper story of how a young nation built its military identity, this volume leaves one essential question unanswered: what kind of institution — and what kind of country — will the next seventy-five years produce?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130807754971,"sku":"2026200012038-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a89dd7e1-d098-44a6-b51b-e00d09a4ce50.png?v=1786590305","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012038-secondhand-duntroon-the-royal-military-college-of-australia-1911-1986","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
