520 1  September 2001. But unlike the calls to arms at the onset 
       of the world wars, Australia decided to make only 
       carefully calibrated force contributions in support of the
       US-led coalition campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq. Why is
       this so?  Niche Wars examines Australia's experience on 
       military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq from 2001 to 
       2014. These operations saw over 40 Australian soldiers 
       killed and hundreds wounded. But the toll since has been 
       greater. For Afghanistan and Iraq the costs are hard to 
       measure. Why were these forces deployed? What role did 
       Australia play in shaping the strategy and determining the
       outcome? How effective were they? Why is so little known 
       about Australia's involvement in these campaigns? What 
       lessons can be learned from this experience?  Niche Wars 
       commences with a scene-setting overview of Australia's 
       military involvement in the Middle East over more than a 
       century. It then draws on unique insights from many angles,
       across a spectrum of men and women, ranging from key 
       Australian decision makers, practitioners and observers. 
       The book includes a wide range of perspectives in chapters
       written by federal government ministers, departmental 
       secretaries, service commanders, task force commanders, 
       sailors, soldiers, airmen and women, international aid 
       workers, diplomats, police, journalists, coalition 
       observers and academics.  Niche Wars makes for compelling 
       reading but also stands as a reference work on how and why
       Australia became entangled in these conflicts that had 
       devastating consequences. If lessons can be learned from 
       history about how Australia uses its military forces, this
       book is where to find them. -- From publisher's website.
