Churchillâ s relationship to Australia was fraught, tainted by the Gallipoli War in the First World War and Singapore in the Second. Australiaâ s egalitarianism frustrated him and he was intolerant or the urge towards independence. The relationship between the two spanned the tumultuous first 50 years of the century, from the Boer War to the Cold War and is a fascinating backdrop to Australiaâ s growth to full nationhood from a collection of autonomous colonies. Freudenbergâ s research and insiderâ s knowledge of the political world make this a compelling read.
