Reviews

Doyle's passion for Australia comes from his family tie, his military service, and his long-term scholarly pursuit. He covers a wide range of topics, including Australia's historical relations with Britain, its recent ties with the United States, and its current economic interactions with China. His vision that Australia has to disengage itself from a self-imposed colonial past in order to be a truly independent nation free from fear, obligation, or favor is thought-provoking. His belief that Australia will soon become a republic is tantalizing. In any case, he has offered his witty remarks, poignant critiques, and persuasive comments on Australia's past, contemporary status, and future role in the global affairs. -- Patrick Fuliang Shan, Grand Valley State University
