Portions of the text have appeared in the following article: Thomas K. Robb and David James Gill, “The ANZUS Treaty during the Cold War: A Reinterpretation of U.S. Diplomacy in the Southwest Pacific,” Journal of Cold War Studies 17.4 (Fall 2015): 109–57, © 2015 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, reprinted by permission of the MIT Press. We are thankful to MIT Press for allowing us to reproduce elements of our research in this book.

We are grateful to everyone who helped us produce Divided Allies. We thank Nicholas Clayton for his research assistance and the numerous archivists who have helped us locate material for this book. We benefited from interactions with knowledgeable and supportive staff in person and online at the Australian National Archive, Australian National Library, Birmingham University, British National Archives, Cambridge University, Eisenhower Presidential Library, Oxford University, U.S. National Archives II, New Zealand National Archives, Princeton University, Roosevelt Presidential Library, and Truman Presidential Library. Without such dedicated staff, the process of writing history would be significantly more challenging.

We are grateful to James Curran, Charles Giovanni Vanzan Coutinho, Michael Gill, Wen-Qing Ngoei, Paul McGarr, Luke Nichter, Bevan Sewell, and two anonymous reviewers for advice and feedback on earlier drafts of the manuscript. Their suggestions made the book considerably better. We would also like to thank Christopher and Alison Curran for their hospitality in Australia. Special thanks to Cornell University Press. Meagan Dermody, Carmen Adriana Torrado Gonzalez, Ange Romeo-Hall, and Marie Flaherty-Jones have all been very helpful during the publication process. We are particularly grateful to Michael McGandy for his advice and support in successfully guiding the book from proposal to publication. Our friends and colleagues in Cambridge, London, Nottingham, and Oxford deserve considerable thanks for their kindness throughout the many years of researching and writing the book. Most important, thank you to our families for their support and patience. We dedicate this book to them.
