This account of Sir Earle Page's eight-month mission to London
provides insights into Anglo-Australian, Anglo-Dominion and United
States-Australian wartime relations during a crucial phase of the
Second World War. It offers an understanding into the man himself:
his thoughts about Australia during the war; his hopes for its
future after the war; and the relations Page had with leading
political figures, military officials, and policy-makers of the
day. The diary revolves around interrelated themes: the battles to
represent Australia in the British War Cabinet and to secure a
larger share of lucrative wartime food contracts; and the future of
Anglo-Australian relations in the Pacific as the United States
asserted its dominance over its British ally. The ill-fated defence
of Malaya/Singapore and the collapse of British prestige at the
hands of the Japanese between December 1941 and May 1942 serves as
a backcloth to Page's mission and its significance.
