    Reassessing the ANZUS Alliance: Strategy and Diplomacy between Australia, New Zealand and the United States, 1945-1956 Andrew Mathew Kelly Submitted in 2016 A thesis submitted to Western Sydney University as fulfilment of the degree Doctor of Philosophy Declaration The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original except as acknowledged in the text. I hereby declare that I have not submitted this material, either in full or in part, for a degree at this or any other institution. Andrew Kelly Acknowledgements I could not have possibly completed a project of this magnitude alone. Firstly, I must thank my primary supervisor, Dr. Peter Mauch. His assistance in the development and completion of this thesis has been truly invaluable and it is greatly appreciated. I am also thankful to my secondary supervisor, Dr. David Walton, for similar assistance. Secondly, I have several other people to thank at various research and tertiary institutions. David Jolliffe at the Australian Prime Ministers Centre was a great help in acquainting me with the primary material available at the Australian National Archives and the National Library of Australia. Mary Rickley, Dean Nogle and Michael Johnson at the Eisenhower Foundation were fantastic in their efforts to help me travel around Abilene, especially in very adverse weather conditions. At the Eisenhower Library, Chelsea Millner and Kevin Bailey were very helpful in finding useful material. During my visit to the Australian, New Zealand and Pacific Studies Centre at Georgetown University, Alan Tidwell and Lindsey Parsons were also very helpful and made me feel welcome.
