Sir Earle Page's British War Cabinet Diary, 1941-1942: Volume 61
This account of Sir Earle Page's eight-month mission to London provides insights into Anglo-Australian, Anglo-Dominion and United States-Australian wartime relations during a crucial phase of the Second World War. It offers an understanding into the man himself: his thoughts about Australia during the war; his hopes for its future after the war; and the relations Page had with leading political figures, military officials, and policy-makers of the day. The diary revolves around interrelated themes: the battles to represent Australia in the British War Cabinet and to secure a larger share of lucrative wartime food contracts; and the future of Anglo-Australian relations in the Pacific as the United States asserted its dominance over its British ally. The ill-fated defence of Malaya/Singapore and the collapse of British prestige at the hands of the Japanese between December 1941 and May 1942 serves as a backcloth to Page's mission and its significance.

The Nationals
The Nationals tells the story of the NSW National Party from its foundation in 1919 as The Progressive Party to the contemporary era under Andrew Stoner's leadership.

Australia's Prime Ministers
Since Australia's first Federal election, in 1901, the contest for the Prime Ministership has come to resemble the presidential-style elections of the United States. Of Australia's 25 Prime Ministers, some have towered over their party, Parliament and the national political scene in just the same way as some American presidents have. This book tells the story of every one of them.

Survey of British Commonwealth Affairs
First Published in 1968. This book falls into three parts. The first gives some account of the impact of war upon the Commonwealth and upon its inÂdividual member nations; the second records the post-war changes in its composition, while the third examines some of the domestic and external problems that confronted the Commonwealth in the bleak mid-years of the cenÂtury. Each of these topics, if treated exhaustively, would require a volume and what is attempted in this book is no more than the analysis of certain themes which seem to bear most closely on the idea of the Commonwealth and its place in the history of our times.
