Description xi, 179 pages ; 25 cm Summary Robert Gordon Menzies has been the dominant figure of Australian international history in the twentieth century. From his first government's attempts to keep Japan out of the Second World War to his last government's decision to send a battalion to Vietnam in 1965, Menzies' international policies were the subject of both praise and criticism. In this book Australia's leading international historians have used recently released official and private papers in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand and even the former Soviet Union to make a reappraisal of the foreign and defence policies of the Menzies governments. Researched and written in the aftermath of the Cold War, which conditioned so many of the previous interpretations, this book makes a new and timely contribution to our understanding of Menzies' international policies in war and peace Analysis Federal issue Foreign policy alignment History, 1901-1945 History, 1946-1969 International defence relations Menzies, Robert Notes "In association with the Australian Defence Studies Centre, Australian Defence Force Academy."
