Single volume version of Verney's thesis "The Army High Command and Australian Defence Policy 1901-1918". Examines the question of how the military leadership of the Commonwealth Military Forces developed in response to the events interlocking spheres of politics and strategy from 1904 to 1918. Seeks to answer the problem of whether or not the development of high command along British lines lessened the influence in defence planning of a strategic analysis based largely on Australian interests in the Pacific. The 2nd part investigates the impact of WW1 on defence plans drawn by the General Staff before 1914 and the way in which home defence of Australia was managed with limited resources.
