Armed and ready Industrial development and Defence of Australia, 1900-1945
A. T. Ross Australia's capabilities in industry, science and technology were key factors in World War II. This authorative volume challenges long-accepted beliefs about Australia's preparedness for war with Japan. "Ross' book will not only serve as a memorial to the wartime contribution of Australian scientists, technicians and workers but will enhance in lasting form our understanding of the evolution of Australian indust1J' and its involvement in the Second World War." Dr Peter Stanley. Head, Historical Research Section, Australian War Memorial "Dr. Ross is one of the best analysts in the defence field. " Associate Professor John McCarthy, Australian Defence Force Academy "There are other historians who have written official or unofficial military history, those have concentrated on social history of the war years, and just a few contributions of a technical kind. Dr Ross, however, concentrates on the science and technology which underpinned our war industries and on the way that government and industry worked together." Professor Ian D. Rae, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Victoria University of Technology
