The Long Patrol: Australia and East Timor’s Wars by Richard Plunkett
Australia’s involvement with East Timor began in World War II when many Australian commandos would have died without the aid of the East Timorese. But in the 1970s Australia and other neighbouring nations stood by while tiny East Timor was crushed by an Indonesian invasion. A referendum for independence in 1999 saw the massacre of thousands of East Timorese televised into our loungerooms. How could this happen? Do bullies always have to win? What were the East Timorese prepared to die for? And what would Timor’s neighbours do this time?

Open File by Peter Corris
Open file
 Cliff Hardy, with his PI licence cancelled and his career in Sydney at an end, is preparing for a trip overseas. Cleaning out his office, he comes across an open file – an unresolved case from the late 1970s. He starts reading and is thrown back to his investigation of the disappearance of Justin Hampshire. At first glance it was a straightforward missing person matter, but the investigation took on twists and turns involving military history, Sydney criminals and corruption at high levels. To solve the Hampshire case Cliff had to travel from the south coast to the Blue Mountains. Thirty years later, unresolved questions about the file still prey on his mind.
