Edited by Patty O'Brien and Bruce Vaughn

amongst_friendsThe book

This book provides a rare contemplation of the bonds between the United States, Australia and New Zealand. Since 1997, the Center for Australian and New Zealand Studies has sponsored an ANZAC Lecture series and Waitangi addresses to observe New Zealand's national day. These lectures by Australians and New Zealanders form the essays in this book. Appendices include the texts of the Treaty of Waitangi, the ANZUS Treaty and details of Australian and New Zealand causalities in World War I and at Gallipoli.
