The main value of Defence and the Media in Time of Limited War" is...as a primary source marking the views and opinions of those who took part in the Brisbane conference, and the state of military-media relations as an academic discipline in Australia at the time. In these terms the book is a success, and both the editor and the conference organisers should be well pleased with what they have achieved." Stephen Badsey, Royal Military Academy Sandhurst
