Australia's war-time Prime Minister, John Curtin, has a heroic
status in Australian political history folklore. He stood up to
British Prime Minister Churchill and American President Roosevelt
courageously, insisting that Australian troops be brought home to
defend their nation against the expected Japanese invasion.
However, the praise and adulation that is heaped upon Curtin for
creating the American Alliance is not justified. James Prior argues
that the credit is rightly owed to Richard Casey, who as
Australia's first ambassador to the United States did more to
secure American engagement with Australia in Pacific security than
Curtin or anyone else.
