Klappentext In 1984, New Zealand's Labour Government's anti-nuclear policy collided with a US foreign policy based on nuclear deterrence. After three years of ship visits denied, angry meetings, fraught diplomacy and press conferences, the stand-off led to the unravelling of the ANZUS military alliance. Based on previously classified government records in Britain, New Zealand, Australia and the US, interviews with key protagonists, and the author's own involvement this tells the inside story of this dramatic confrontation.
