Armed and Ready The Industrial Development and Defence of Australia 1900-1945 by A.T. Ross

Australia's capabilities in industry, science and technology were key factors in World War II. This authoritative volume challenges long-accepted beliefs about Australia's preparedness for war with Japan.

"There are other historians who have written official or unofficial military history, those have concentrated on social history of the war years, and just a few contributions of a technical kind. Dr. Ross, however, concentrates on the science and technology which underpinned our war industries and the way that government and industry worked together."

Professor Ian D. Rae, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Victoria University of Technology.
