Summary "A Ceaseless Watch is a narrative-style account of how Australia confronted the need to base its post-WWI defense planning around the security provided by a major naval power, initially, Britain, and later the United States. The timeframe of the work covers the period leading to Australia's greatest security crisis, namely the military threat posed by Japan throughout the majority of 1942, prior to the defeat of the Imperial Japanese Navy by the U.S. Navy in the Solomon Islands campaign"-- Provided by publisher
