It is with great pleasure that I invite you to the formal launch of my book The Politics of Police Diplomacy: The Australian Experience at the Memorial Bookshop at the Australian War Memorial on Tuesday 20MAY25 at 1730hrs. An invitation is also extended to those interested to attend the Last Post Ceremony commencing at 1645hrs immediately preceding the book launch.

This book explores many of the major international engagements the Australian Federal Police has been involved in over the 60 years since the Commonwealth Police first deployed to Cyprus in 1964. This is our AFP story and we should be as proud of our AFP efforts as agencies like the ADF are of theirs.

For those unable to make it to Canberra I am also holding two book promotions in Melbourne:

Saturday 24 May 2025 2.00pm.
English Speaking Union Victoria
403 Mt Alexander Rd (cnr Bank St) Ascot Vale VIC, 3032

Monday 26 May 2025 4.00pm.
Caulfield RSL
4 St Georges Rd, Elsternwick VIC 3185

I have intentions of further promotions in other cities but no firm details as yet.

Please RSVP by 30APR25 so I have an idea of numbers and so your name can be placed on a list at the AWM for admission.

I hope to see as many of you at the launch in Canberra or at the promotions in Melbourne.

Regards
