[Benjamin Stahl · Rating 4 out of 5]

Conservative Australian journalist Greg Sheridan provides an in-depth, if perhaps biased, review of the US-Australian alliance during the era of Bush and Howard. While it deals with a controversial issue that has greatly soured since its aftermath - the hunt for Saddam Hussein and his apparent WMDs - Sheridan makes a good argument for the ongoing importance of Australian-American relations that, even with whatever drastic changes the Trump presidency has introduced, still remains a vital component to Australia's national security.
