Australia and the United States have found themselves fighting
common enemies on the battlefields of the world for over half a
century. Australian ground forces have repeatedly stood
shoulder-to-shoulder with American troops in conflicts from Korea
and Vietnam to Afghanistan - and now in the 2003 Iraq war. This
study looks closely at the key factors which, for over fifty years,
have shaped, interpreted and applied the aims and aspirations of
this mutual defence agreement to the real world of shifting
threats, changing strategic balances and the democratic
uncertainties of domestic politics. A departure from the current
literature, the ANZUS alliance, now updated to take account of the
new post 11 September 2001 realities, is presented as an accessible
and concise survey of this often neglected but increasingly
important trans-Pacific link between the American giant and its
durable Australian ally. Suitable as supplementary reading at the
3rd year undergraduate and postgraduate levels of courses studying
international relations generally, but also useful for those
engaged with elements of global and regional security, and
strategic defence analysis.
