His decorated 35 year military career included deployments to East Timor, Iraq, and southern Afghanistan, as well as a stint as a strategist on the United States Joint Staff in the Pentagon. This experience, in conjunction with an impressive academic resume, has earnt him a reputation as one of Australia’s finest military minds.

His new book, ‘White Sun War’, is an engrossing imagining of a future conflict between China and the US over Taiwan. In this conversation with host Will Kingston, Mick discusses what that conflict may look like.
