There is a lot more to military life than war. From an army nurse’s letters home during the First World War, military families in Southeast Asia during the Cold War and recovering air force war dead to educating Papua New Guinean forces and the experiences of LGBTI soldiers, Beyond Combat is a wide-ranging examination of military operations away from the battlefield.

With contributions from historians and military personnel, including Christina Twomey, Noah Riseman, Shirleene Robinson and Clare O’Neill, Beyond Combat reveals important aspects of military history too often overlooked.
Tristan Moss completed his PhD at the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre at the Australian National University in 2015, for which he was awarded the CEW Bean Prize for Military History. His first book, Guarding the Periphery: the Australian Army in Papua New Guinea, 1951–75, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2017. He was an ANU Teaching Fellow at the Australian Command and Staff College in 2016, and worked on the Serving Our Country project, investigating Indigenous service in the Australian Defence Force, and two Official Histories: Peacekeeping, Humanitarian and Post–Cold War Operations, and Australian Operations in East Timor, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Tom Richardson completed his PhD at the University of New South Wales in 2014 and is currently a lecturer at the Australian Defence Force Academy at UNSW, Canberra. His research interests include Australian military history, the Vietnam War, and counterinsurgency. Before joining the Official History team Dr Richardson worked as an associate lecturer in history at the University of New South Wales (Canberra) and as a researcher with the Official History of Peacekeeping, Humanitarian and Post–Cold War Operations. His first book, Destroy and Build: Pacification in Phuoc Tuy, 1966-1972 was published by Cambridge University Press in 2017.
