Good News: Very informative…but at times just textbook dull. There are tidbits of info that amazed me…but you have to look for them! Australian think tank – funded by US Dept. of Defense (…that’s strange) — Australia gives away its leverage….by deepening its alliance with USA. — Reveals PM Morrison’s secret mission to sink the French deal for AUKUS — Australia’s future is more than ever dependant on whoever is in the White House!

Bad News: The book is a slow burn (ch 1-7) but improves! (ch 8-12)…so don’t give up!

Personal: Whatever you hear about the meeting between Trump and PM Albanese 20 Oct 2025 about AUKUS deal …the USA is calling all the shots! It is true…Australia’s sovereignty is sinking. Australia had no more leverage,…they have to take whatever the US is offering. This book is enlightening and shows us (…among other tidbits of info) what really was going on behind closed doors… at secret meeting with PM Scott Morrison, PM Boris Johnson, President Biden and Sec. of State Anthony Blinken June 2021 in Cornwall at the G7. I don’t think this book will win The Australian Political Book of the Year…but I could be wrong.
