The Official History Of Australian Peacekeeping, Humanitarian and Post- Cold War Operations Vol. II: Australia and the ‘new world order’: from peacekeeping to peace enforcement, 1988–1991 (2016) By David Horner
Since 1947, at least 30,000 Australian peacekeepers have taken part in over 50 operations, in more than two-dozen theatres of conflict around the world, as well as a similar number of disaster-relief operations. The Australian Government has authorised the Australian War Memorial to research and write a six-volume Official History of Australian peacekeeping, humanitarian and post–Cold War operations.
This important document of Australians in peacekeeping represents a world-first: the first official history of a nation's complete peacekeeping record.
The history is official only in the sense it has government support and that the team has access to all relevant government records. What the historians write is not subject to censorship of any kind, except for reasons of national security.
The history is a joint project of the Australian War Memorial and the Australian National University. It is supported by the Australian Defence Force. In addition the Australian Research Council has awarded a grant of $1 million over five years to support writing the history.
Volume 2: Australia and the ‘new world order’: from peacekeeping to peace enforcement, 1988–1991 by Professor David Horner, covers peacekeeping missions that began between 1988 and 1991 including Namibia, Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan, the Persian Gulf and Kuwait. This volume was published by Cambridge University Press in 2011
