What Would John Monash Do?: Analysing Australia's Perilous Strategic Position and Charting a Way Forward

Australia has never been wealthier. Nor, since the Second World War, has it been more strategically exposed. Drawing on history, geography, economics and practical examples, this book challenges many of the assumptions that have shaped Australian policy for generations. It offers a clear, practical framework for building a stronger, more resilient nation while making better use of the resources Australia already possesses. David Wilson argues that Australia does not need to spend vastly more or fundamentally reshape its way of life. Instead, it needs a coherent Grand Strategy that aligns decisions made across government with the nation's long-term security. In this way, Australia can strengthen its ability to withstand crisis, deter aggression and protect its people. This is not just a book about defence. It is a book about the future of Australia.
