True Believer: John Howard, George Bush & the American Alliance

By Robert Garran

A timely and provocative examination of Australian Prime Minister John Howard's devotion to the foreign policy doctrine of President George W. Bush, this inquiry looks at the dangerous international journey that Australia has embarked on as a result. Examining Howard's unswerving belief in the radical and risky doctrines of Bush, this book argues that in his eagerness to join the American president in the war against Iraq, Howard failed to comprehend the perils his soldiers would face. The author further contends that Howard has hijacked Australia's national story with his conservative nationalism and is now using that story to take Australia on a dangerous journey that will take his country deeper into international conflict.
