One paragraph with underlining and a prior owner name on the title page otherwise a near fine copy. "Edmund Leolin Piesse 1880-1947 foreign policy analyst and lawyer was born on 26 July 1880 at New Town Hobart. In 1909 he joined the newly established Australian Intelligence Corps and as staff officer undertook the first military survey of Tasmania. Following the outbreak of World War I the Defence Department transferred him to the Intelligence section of the Directorate of Military Operations in Melbourne and in March 1916 he was appointed as a major director of military intelligence. <br> <br>His duties included drafting and enforcing War Precautions Act regulations postal and press censorship counter-espionage surveillance of enemy aliens and even sometimes of allied aliens notably the Japanese. The problem of Japan's intentions with which he had long been troubled and Australia's Pacific policy became almost an obsession. Japan had expanded into China Siberia and the former German North Pacific islands. In October 1918 Piesse warned the minister for defence Sir George Pearce that the Japanese seemed bent on an imperial course and that they might drive southward towards Australia. <br> <br>In the early 1930s however the re-emergence of Japanese imperialism and the rise of fascism in Europe persuaded Piesse of renewed danger for Australia. With the encouragement of the secretary of the External Affairs Department W. R. Hodgson and the chief of the General Staff Colonel John Lavarack he published his pamphlet Japan and the Defence of Australia 1935 directed at 'Professors who believe in collective security in the Pacific' and at 'Admirals who believe in Imperial Defence for Australia'. He was impatient with the Lyons government's blind faith in British assurances of naval protection and campaigned in the press and on the radio to secure a greater share of the defence budget for the army and air force. By 1937 Piesse's arguments had to a large extent carried the day in the local Round Table group and his article on 'The Defence of Australia' was published in the Round Table London. This was the only occasion that he attempted publicly to change government policy." Australian Dictionary of Biography. Volume 11 1988. <br> <br>A presentation copy from the author E. L.
