Sinopsis

Trans Tasman explores the intricate and often-overlooked relationship between Australia and New Zealand, arguing that it extends beyond simple neighborly ties. The book examines how shared history, converging interests, and enduring rivalries have shaped their unique bond. It highlights that while the relationship is often portrayed as one of camaraderie, it is a complex mix of cooperation, competition, and occasional divergence, crucial for understanding South Pacific geopolitics.

 
One intriguing aspect explored is how both nations, despite their ANZAC heritage and defense cooperation, sometimes differ in their strategic priorities. The book dissects the historical narrative, economic agreements like CER (Closer Economic Relations), and the security/defense alliance between the two countries.

 
It progresses through chapters that first establish the historical context, then delve into the economic partnership, and finally concentrate on security and defense cooperation. Supported by primary source documents, statistical data, and scholarly research, Trans Tasman provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the trans-Tasman dynamic, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in international relations and the South Pacific.

Salamis and Actium: The History...

Editors Charles River

When the Spartans’ famous and sacrificial stand at the Battle of Thermopylae ended during the Second Persian War, the Athenian fleet was forced to fall back, and Xerxes’ massive Persian army marched unopposed into Greece before advancing on Athens. The Greek armies were scattered and unable to face the might of Persia, so Athens was forced to do the unthinkable: evacuate the entire population of the city to Salamis, from where the Athenians watched in horror as Xerxes’ troops plundered the defenseless city, set it aflame, and razed the Acropolis. 
However, the Athenians remained belligerent, in part because according to the oracle at Delphi, “only the wooden wall shall save you.” Indeed, this would prove true when Themistocles managed to lure the Persian fleet into the straits of Salamis. There, on a warm day in September 480 BCE, hundreds of Greek and Persian ships faced each other in a narrow strait between the Attic peninsula of Greece and the island of Salamis. The battle that ensued would prove to be epic on a number of different levels, as it set a precedent for how later naval battles were fought in the ancient Mediterranean, turned the tide in the Greeks’ favor against the Persians in the Persian Wars, and ultimately played a role in Athens’ rise to a preeminent role in the Hellenic world. 
As one of Rome’s most famous battles, the Battle of Actium has taken on a life of its own in popular memory. One of the longest-held myths about the battle is that Cleopatra, sensing defeat, began to sail away from the fight in the middle of the day, and the love struck Antony followed her with his own ship, abandoning his men in the middle of the fight. While that popular myth would be in keeping with explaining Cleopatra’s irresistible charm and magnetism, contemporary accounts of the battle do not suggest it was the case.
