Book Synopsis Blue-water Rationale by : Ian C. McGibbon

Book excerpt: For twenty years the strategic basis of New Zealand's defence policy was "the main fleet to Singaport" strategy -- the theory of a properly defended Singapore Naval Base to which adequate British naval forces would be despatched to defend the Empire east of Suez. In the event a fleet, far smaller than originally planned, arrived at Singapore in December 1941, only to suffer immediate annihilation; the Base held out, not the months predicted by British experts but rather just seven days before falling to attacking Japanese forces on 15 February 1942. This book, then, is essentially a study of why New Zealand placed reliance on an unsatisfactory strategy, which was always admitted to be second best to that in which a battlefleet was permanently based in the Pacific. The evolution of post-war arrangements for the protection of the British Empire in the Far East and Pacific Ocean is traced, with emphasis upon the procrastination which marked the provision of the necessary facilities. There is a description of the dilemmas confronting British strategists in the lte 1930s ... they were obliged to plan for war with three powerful enemies, knowing that to fight even two would be to court disaster. New Zealand's approach to the problem of security is discussed in detail. It is shown that far from being complacent behind the shield of a supposedly all powerful Royal Navy, New Zealand leaders were consistently worried by their country's vulnerable position ... And yet the only possible alternative ally, the United States of America, could not be counted upon to deal with an aggressive Japan. This book is a study of Anglo-New Zealand relations in the broad field of naval defence ... Although primarily dealing with New Zealand's defence policy, the book is a necessary introduction to any study of New Zealand's developing role in the world and of the evolution of its foreign policy."--Inside front cover.

Book Synopsis Tasman Relations by : Keith Sinclair
Download or read book Tasman Relations written by Keith Sinclair and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " ... At the invitation of the Australia-New Zealand Foundation and as a recognition of two hundred years of European settlement in Australia, the noted historian, Sir Keith Sinclair, has brought together a team of authorities from both sides of the Tasman. Experts in their fields, they present a lucid, perceptive and astonishingly coherent picture of 200 years of contact. Chapters range from a fascinating account of Maori perceptions of Australian settlement in the 1840s to a detailed study of recent trade relations between two countries, including the recent CER (Closer Economic Relations) free trade agreement. Among subjects covered are population, literary relations, defence, and religion. A hard hitting chapter compares the lives of woment in the two colonies, among the first countries in the world to give the vote to women. Intergovernmental relations ... are highlighted at different historical periods and on different matters of common concern.. Two personal impressions -- of a New Zealander in Australia and of an Australian in New Zealand -- show vividly and often amusingly the daily contrasts and contradictons experienced by those who cross the Tasman to live. Rounding off the volume is a penetrating overview by Geoffrey Blainey of relations between the two countries, identifying in some striking and unusual ways the resemblances and differences between them."--Inside front cover.

Book Synopsis New Zealand in the League of Nations by : Gerald Chaudron
Download or read book New Zealand in the League of Nations written by Gerald Chaudron and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2011-11-08 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When New Zealand's prime minister William Massey joined other heads of British Empire countries in signing the 1919 Treaty of Versailles to end World War I and join the League of Nations, he did not regard the act as a declaration of independence. On the contrary, while Canadian and South African leaders saw membership in the league as a rite of passage towards greater autonomy, New Zealand's leader viewed it as an unwelcome burden and a potential threat to the British Empire. This history of New Zealand's relations with the League of Nations from its inception in 1920 to its demise in 1946 follows the government's transformation in attitude from its initial hostility to detached acceptance and, finally, passionate support in the late 1930s. By chronicling this complex movement, the book traces New Zealand's first tiny, halting steps towards developing its own foreign policy.

Book Synopsis Intelligence and Strategy by : John Ferris
Download or read book Intelligence and Strategy written by John Ferris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-05-07 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Ferris' work in strategic and intelligence history is widely praised for its originality and the breadth of its research. At last his major pioneering articles are now available in this one single volume. In Intelligence and Strategy these essential articles have been fundamentally revised to incorporate new evidence and information withheld by governments when they were first published. This volume reshapes the study of communications intelligence by tracing Britain's development of cipher machines providing the context to Ultra and Enigma, and by explaining how British and German signals intelligence shaped the desert war. The author also explains how intelligence affected British strategy and diplomacy from 1874 to 1940 and world diplomacy during the 1930s and the Second World War. Finally he traces the roots for contemporary intelligence, and analyzes intelligence and the RMA as well as the role of intelligence in the 2003 Gulf War. This volume ultimately brings new light to our understanding of the relations between intelligence, strategy and diplomacy between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 21st century.
