Going to war may be the gravest decision a nation and its leaders make. At the moment, Australia is at war with ISIS. We also live in a region that has become much more volatile, as China asserts itself and America seeks to hold the line. What is it like to go to war? How do we decide to go to war? Where might we go to war in the future? Will we get that decision right? In this vivid, compelling essay, James Brown looks to history, strategy and his own experience to explore these questions. He examines the wars we have chosen to fight in the past - from Gallipoli and Timor, to Afghanistan and Iraq - and asks: did we get the decision right? Brown considers how we plug into the US war machine, and the American troops based in Darwin. He also sheds fascinating light on the changing technology and terrain of war - the cyber realm, the oceans and space. This is an essay that examines our independence as a nation, and the choices that may confront us. James Brown is a former Australian Army officer, who commanded a cavalry troop in southern Iraq, served on the Australian taskforce headquarters in Baghdad and was attached to Special Forces in Afghanistan. He now runs the Alliance 21 project at the US Studies Centre, University of Sydney. A columnist for the Saturday Paper and regular media contributor, his first book was the acclaimed Anzac's Long Shadow.

If you have ever worked in a casino - read on, if you've ever gambled in a casino - read on, or if you'd just like to read about a life of adventure and mayhem starting in 1960's Glasgow (and James is still involved in casinos) - then this is the story for you... You won't regret it! When a family friend offers a young working class lad in Scotland the chance to work in a local casino little does he know the life of adventure which is about to begin. The author describes in tremendous detail the working life of a casino and the antics and scrapes of life outside work - whether he is in GLASGOW, LONDON, NIGERIA, IRAN, YUGOSLAVIA, GREECE, EGYPT OR OTHER EXOTIC LOCATIONS.
