The research for this book has been done mainly since I began the project in early 1997. However, the book also draws upon research that I have done since 1981 on Anglo–Australian relations during the Second WorldWar. Further references can therefore be found in my previous books on the war: Menzies and Churchill at War, The Great Betrayal, and Reluctant Nation.
Many of the newspaper references have been drawn from volumes of newspaper cuttings that were found invarious manuscript collections, particularly that of Elsie Macleod (nee Curtin) in the John Curtin Prime Ministerial Library. Accordingly, they are not listed separately in the newspaper section.
