Exercises In Diplomacy tells the story of how both movements became established, written by one of their chief architects, Sir Percy Spender.

Sir Percy was Australian represen tative at the ANZUS Treaty negotia tions which created among other things a defence pact with the US in the Pacific.

Exercises In Diplomacy is written by a man fitted uniquely to give the deepest insight into these events. As such it is a very important book for the student of political science.
