Retirement and Legacy
Tange retired in 1979 and lived until 2001, when he died of leukemia. His wife of 60 years, Marjorie, died two months later after a series of strokes.
In 2002, the Department of Defence, in conjunction with the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre (SDSC) at the Australian National University (ANU), decided to establish an ongoing Ph.D. scholarship in honour of Tange. The first of these scholarships were awarded in 2003, and another was awarded in 2007.
The first independent biography of Tange, Arthur Tange: Last of the Mandarins by Peter Edwards, was published in 2006. Peter Edwards has also edited and published Tange's personal memoirs in Defence Policy-Making: A Close-up View, 1950-1980, released in 2008.
