The absence of torpedo bombers and dive bombers in subsequent raids on Darwin was a factor in the loss of HMAS Armidale in December 1942. The author located other records relating to the Darwin air raid while researching for this book. These records do not relate to gallantry per se, as they do not appear in other texts covering the raid. However, they are of important historical value. ISBN/ASIN: 1740080750.

London: Earthscan Publications. 185 pp. Hardback octavo, no jacket as issued, pictorial cover, very good condition. Michael Heazle explores how uncertainty is interpreted and used by policy makers, experts and politicians. It argues that conventional notions of rational, evidence-based policy making - hailed by governments and organisations across the world as the only way to make good policy - is impossible in highly complex and uncertain environments. The blind pursuit of such a rational goal is in fact irrational in a world of competing values and interests. Based on two high-profile case studies: the Iraq War, and climate change policy in the US, UK and Australia. Based on three years' research - including interviews with experts such as Hans Blix, Paul Pillar and Brian Jones. Both case studies show that treatment of uncertainty issues in specialist advice is often determined by how well the advice fits with or contradicts the policy goals and orientation of the politicians. One should not allow the debate to be side-tracked by arguments over whose expert advice is "more right". We must accept that uncertainty in complex issues is unavoidable, and recognise the values and interests that lie at the heart of the issues. Offers a hedging approach; this enables policy makers to manage rather than eliminate uncertainty. ISBN/ASIN: 9781849710831. Our Book No: 14256. $30 AUD.

Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press (HUP). 280 pp. Hardback small octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), cloth spine, paper covered boards, minimal edgewear. Dominic Johnson reports that opponents rarely go to war without thinking they can win - and, clearly, one side must be wrong. This conundrum lies at the heart of the so-called war puzzle': rational states should agree on their differences in power and thus not fight. But states are no more rational than people: they are susceptible to exaggerated ideas of their own virtue, of their ability to control events, and of the future. This cognitive bias (positive illusions) - important in evolutionary biology, psychology, and the politics of international conflict - offers compelling insights into why states wage war. Traces the effects of positive illusions on four turning points in 20th-century history: two that erupted into war (World War I and Vietnam), and two that did not (the Munich crisis, and the Cuban missile crisis).

But the consequences followed: mutiny, and Captain Bligh's navigation 3000 miles across the Pacific in an open boat in violent weather without maps or supplies and with starving men. The colonising of Pitcairn Island. The shipwreck on the Great Barrier Reef of HMS Pandora sent to capture the mutineers. And, 200 years later, the seduction of the narrator in a rudderless yacht on stormy seas. This singular tale by a Whitbread Prize-winning writer connects the famous mutiny on the Bounty in the Pacific Ocean in 1789 to the plight of the islanders of Pitcairn now. Its conceptual core is chaos theory: how a small chance thing, the taking of a coconut by Fletcher Christian from Bligh's stores on the ship, had dramatic ramifications that continue today.
