Military History Supremo

Essays in Honour of David Horner AM FASSA

About this book

Professor Emeritus David Horner AM FASSA is one of Australia's greatest military historians and its fifth official historian of war and military operations. Few who undertake research in the field can do so without consulting his prodigious, authoritative and definitive publications. Serving for 25 years in the Australian Army before joining The Australian National University, Horner is the epitome of the soldier–scholar and has played a key role in establishing military history as an academic discipline in Australia.

This volume honours Horner's long career of service to history and the nation. Authors pay tribute to Horner's legacy by engaging with his scholarship, applying his conclusions to new case studies and contexts, reflecting and expanding on the subjects he addressed and the methodologies he employed, and pushing the boundaries of the discipline he was instrumental in founding. The breadth of Horner's research is demonstrated by the subjects and themes they address, including strategic planning and policy, command, multinational operations, intelligence and defence policy. Military History Supremo both underscores Horner's contribution to Australia's military and intelligence history and highlights the vibrancy and relevance of the field today.
