Norman Bartlett presents a sweeping bicentennial panorama — published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of American independence — that illuminates the mutual influences, wartime alliances, and enduring friendship that have shaped both nations across two hundred years.\n\nBartlett's approach is authoritative and wide-ranging, drawing on historical records and cultural observation to argue that the destinies of these two great Pacific nations are far more intertwined than conventional history acknowledges. The volume carries a foreword by Malcolm Fraser, then Prime Minister of Australia, and an introduction by Manning Clark, Emeritus Professor of Australian History at the Australian National University — lending the work both political gravitas and formidable scholarly weight. For any reader who wishes to understand the deep roots of the Australia-America relationship, this landmark work remains as relevant and revelatory as the moment it was published.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210280444123,"sku":"2026200017328-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e2d8b717-7ae9-4448-823a-9b3cb402db22.png?v=1788268692","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200017328-secondhand-1776-1976-australia-and-america-through-200-years","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
