This reading list is comprised of texts and online sites that I believe may be of benefit to members of the forum. With hard copy, where possible I include the edition, publisher and ISBN number for easy tracking. The list is not in any particular order at the moment apart from broad categories. If I add in other lists they will be annotated as such in their own category. It's a work in progress and at present only Moderators will be able to post on this particular thread.

An article on resilience by Senator Jim Molan a retired Australian Army senior officer, that discuses the resilience of Australia during the time of a major conflict in the Indo-Pacific region. This is a topic that is sometimes ignored when looking at a particular nation's geostrategic and geopolitical situation. Added 13/7/2021.

Molan Jim: 2021. Shaping A Response to Australia's Threat Landscape, Defense Info.
Jim Molan’s further paper on the subject. He's a pollie so being in the GOTD he's going to speak highly of the GOTD achievements, as they see them, in the introduction. That's political SOP. However the remaining 95% of the article is the important unbiased material. Added 13/7/2021.

Prof Anne-Marie Brady's papers on the PRC & CCP. Whilst she's writing in a NZ context, the findings equally apply to any country outside of PRC control. She's a world leading expert on the CCP and its operating methods. She lived in the PRC for a while and speaks and reads in fluent Mandarin. She has been subjected to intimidation attempts in NZ by the PRC / CCP and / or their proxies.
