Des Ball
Desmond Ball AO (born 1947) is an Australian academic and expert on defence and security. He is credited with successfully advising the US against nuclear escalation in the 1970s.
==Background==
Des Ball attended the Australian National University in 1965, shifting from being a promising student in economics to security studies. He completed a PhD supervised by Hedley Bull, on the global nuclear strategies of the United States and the Soviet Union. He was based for several months in the USA at the Institute of War and Peace. He joined ANU as a lecturer in 1974, later becoming Special Professor in the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre in the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific in 1987.
Ball was an opponent of the draft for the Vietnam War in Australia (although not the war itself, at the time〔http://asiapacific.anu.edu.au/news-events/all-stories/insurgent-intellectual#.U5hwnnJgzng〕), and was arrested for protesting it. He won an appeal in the Supreme Court against his conviction. He was since 1966 a “person of interest” for ASIO, particularly following his inquiries into the Pine Gap secret tracking facility and Nurrungar in Australia from 1969, and was taken to court after the publication of ''A Suitable Piece of Real Estate'' in 1980. He holds ASIO in disdain, for its inability to recognise aspects of defence co-operation with the US infringed Australian national interests by remaining entirely secret.〔http://www.canberratimes.com.au/act-news/anu-professor-des-ball-who-saved-the-world-honoured-20131114-2xi6r.html〕〔http://asiapacific.anu.edu.au/news-events/all-stories/books#.U5ht8HJgzng〕
Ball has incurable cancer, but is still writing and working as of 2014.〔http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2014/s4021817.htm〕
