Volume I of the Official History of Australian Peacekeeping,
Humanitarian and Post-Cold War Operations recounts the Australian
peacekeeping missions that began between 1947 and 1982, and follows
them through to 2006, which is the end point of this series. The
operations described in The Long Search for Peace - some long, some
short; some successful, some not - represent a long period of
learning and experimentation, and were a necessary apprenticeship
for all that was to follow. Australia contributed peacekeepers to
all major decolonisation efforts: for thirty-five years in Kashmir,
fifty-three years in Cyprus, and (as of writing) sixty-one years in
the Middle East, as well as shorter deployments in Indonesia, Korea
and Rhodesia. This volume also describes some smaller-scale
Australian missions in the Congo, West New Guinea, Yemen, Uganda
and Lebanon. It brings to life Australia's long-term contribution
not only to these operations but also to the very idea of
peacekeeping.
