Based on archival material from the Australian National archives and interviews with former and current senior defence officials, this book challenges key elements of the widely accepted narrative about the so-called US nuclear umbrella in Asia and Australia's interest in nuclear weapons, arguing that in the next ten to twenty years, it would not be unreasonable for Australia to reconsider its own nuclear deterrence.
