Based around the Pacific Islands Regiment, the Australian Army's
units in Papua New Guinea had a dual identity: integral to
Australia's defence, but also part of its largest colony, and
viewed as a foreign people. The Australian Army in PNG defended
Australia from threats to its north and west, while also managing
the force's place within Australian colonial rule in PNG,
occasionally resulting in a tense relationship with the Australian
colonial government during a period of significant change. In
Guarding the Periphery: The Australian Army in Papua New Guinea,
1951-75, Tristan Moss explores the operational, social and racial
aspects of this unique force during the height of the colonial era
in PNG and during the progression to independence. Combining the
rich detail of both archival material and oral histories, Guarding
the Periphery recounts a part of Australian military history that
is often overlooked by studies of Australia's military past.
