| Summary: | A study of the background to the Anzus pact between Australia, New Zealand, and the US, placing it in its Cold War context. The study demonstrates that the pact was designed not only to guarantee security and lead to a reconciliation with Japan, but also to protect bases from which atomic bombers could strike the Soviet Union in case of war, and discusses American and British post-war global strategic planning, the impact of the Korean outbreak, and collective security in Southeast Asia. Includes the Canberra Draft and later revisions. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
