Professor O'Neill is a world renowned military historian and defence analyst, retained by governments and international corporations for his thoughtful views and guidance with policy formulation. He is currently Chairman of the international Institute for Strategic Studies and of the Imperial War Museum, both based in London. He has traveled the world extensively since being based in the UK for the past 18 years, but will be retiring late in 2001 to a long-planned rural base in New South Wales. We are indeed fortunate that Professor O'Neill has agreed to be the guest speaker at his special luncheon to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of Scotch. The nature of the world order is changing rapidly.
States are increasingly independent.
The United States is predominant in military, economic and technological terms. Major wars offer nothing but disaster for aggressors. Does the Australian Defence White Paper address the right issues. This will be a special luncheon for Old Boys, wives, parents and all members of the Scotch Family.
