Description
Australia and the Suez Crisis 1950β1957 focuses on the evolution of Australian policy before, during, and after the Suez Crisis. The central theme of the volume is how, in the development of the Australian policy response to that crisis, questions of identity became entangled with shifts in the relativities of national power.
The documents in this volume reveal the contending perspectives among officials in Canberra, London, and Washington, which shaped the advice provided to the Menzies Government. There was a considerable gap between Prime Minister Menzies and External Affairs Minister Richard R. G. Casey regarding the British approach.
It includes a robust exchange of correspondence between Menzies and US President Dwight D. Eisenhower regarding US policy, the diplomatic handling of which fell largely to Casey. Additionally, it incorporates correspondence, minutes, and records of conversation from a range of government departments, as well as discussions between senior Cabinet ministers that provide new insights into the policymaking process.

Dr Matthew Jordan (PhD, University of Sydney) is Head of the Historical Research Section in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and General Editor of Documents on Australian Foreign Policy. He has published mostly in the area of Australian foreign policy history, focusing especially on the role played by ideas of race and nation in shaping Australia's attitudes to the world. This includes a number of articles and book chapters on the origins and nature of the White Australia policy and, more recently, a documentary study of Australia and the Rhodesian Problem, 19611972 (UNSW Press, 2017). He is working on a follow-up volume covering Australia's approach to Zimbabwean independence and a documentary history of the liberalisation and abolition of the White Australia policy from the 1940s to the 1970s.
