New Zealand's sometimes rocky relationships with its wartime allies Great Britain, Australia and the United States during a period of great world turmoil are all exposed and explained in an engaging and thoughtful look into the human side of diplomacy--highlighting the irritants, the cross comments, the subterfuge and intrigue that are the real drivers of history."
