Spender served his country in government, in opposition and as an ambassador to the United States in a long and prestigious career dominated by Australian foreign policy. Spender's role in moving Australia closer towards American influence - while pushing at the boundaries of Australia's 'Britishness' - is a key element in Lowe's narrative. 410 0$aEmpires in perspective ;$vno. 12. 606 $aPoliticians$zAustralia$vBiography 606 $aAmbassadors$zAustralia$vBiography 607 $aAustralia$xPolitics and government$y1901-1945 607 $aAustralia$xPolitics and government$y1945- 607 $aAustralia$xForeign relations$y1900-1945 607 $aAustralia$xForeign relations$y1945- 615 0$aPoliticians 615 0$aAmbassadors 676 $a994.05092 700 $aLowe$b David.$065985 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781152603321 996 $aAustralian between empires$93750944 997 $aUNINA
