Title: Britain, Australia, New Zealand and the Challenge of the United States, 1934-46
Description: "This new study links the development of Anglo-Australian-New Zealand relations, during and immediately after the Second World War, to the role of the United States in the south-west Pacific. Based on the results of comprehensive multi-archival research, the book highlights the extent of American-Commonwealth rivalry in the region and demonstrates how Imperial relations were shaped by the expansion of American power in Pacific areas south of the equator. It provides an important and timely reassessment of the economic, political and strategic factors that led Britain, Australia and New Zealand to conclude that the postwar affairs of the south-west Pacific should be dominated by the British Empire."--Jacket.
