This volume of The Official History of Australian Peacekeeping,
Humanitarian and Post-Cold War Operations recounts the activities
of Australia's military forces in response to overseas natural
disasters. The military's involvement in overseas emergency
management is focused primarily on the period immediately after
disaster strikes: transporting relief supplies, providing medical
assistance, restoring basic services and communications and other
logistical support. Beginning with the 1917-18 influenza epidemic
that ravaged the Pacific and culminating with the 2005 Pakistan
earthquake, this book covers Australia's response to some of the
most catastrophic natural events of the twentieth century. In their
Time of Need is richly detailed, as Steven Bullard weaves together
official government records and archival images with the personal
narratives and photographs of those who served. This volume is an
authoritative and compelling history of Australia's efforts to help
their neighbours.
