Book description

The Australia in World Affairs series commenced in 1950 and provides a continuous, researched scholarly account of Australia's foreign policy. The fourth volume, Australia in World Affairs 1966–1970, saw the transformation in Australia's position carried several stages further. Once a comparative bystander, Australia had become an active participant in great events. The increased commitment of Australian forces to the struggle in Vietnam not only produced deep fissures and much acrimonious debate within the Australian society, but also placed Australia in a theatre of political operation with which the great and the lesser powers were vitally concerned. It also brought to the fore hitherto largely unstated questions about the character of the United States alliance, the extent of Australian involvement in the United States defence system (especially through the growing number of American installations on Australian soil) and the degree of independence exercised, or indeed possessed, by Australia.
