In the early 1970s, two titans of Australian and American politics, Gough Whitlam and Richard Nixon, clashed over the end of the Vietnam war and the shape of a new Asia. A relationship that had endured the heights of the Cold War veered dangerously off course. Drawing on new evidence from secret American and Australian records, this book portrays the bitter clash between these two leaders and their competing visions of the world.
