Three of Australia's top policy analysts have investigated the fine print in the Australia-US Free Trade Agreement and reveal how the Agreement is anything but Free. With new information from inside sources, they tell of the behind-the-scenes negotiations, and how Australia's long-term prosperity has been dangerously undermined.

Delving deep into Australia's international relations, this book looks at the government of Prime Minister Howard, exposing his extreme attempt to court the United States as an ally and its dire effect on the nation's security, future prosperity, and cultural values. Three expert academics examine trade deals on uranium, agriculture, and defense, showing how Australia is being undermined by its own leaders. They also offer a compelling explanation of this pattern of betrayal.
