The Star is well represented in the lots for this auction. The author of this book was Books and Letters Editor at this newspaper.
He writes: "The book is far from being a simple regimental history. The motivations of those involved, at all levels, are considered, and comparisons are made with other defence forces utilising similar part-time components."
