I'm reading a good one at the moment; "ANZAC's Dirty Dozen: 12 Myths of Australian Military History", edited by Craig Stockings (one of the lecturers here at ADFA). It's a collection of essays debunking several strongly held myths, including the "birth" of our military history at Gallipoli, our ability to punch above our weight, our soldiers being more ethical than others and more. The book is continuing from where the Zombie Military History series left off, and is very well researched and for some, quite confronting.

I have no financial interest in the selling of this book, by the way, i've just found it an incredibly interesting and enlightening read!
