Australia and the United States are enduring and successful democracies. Since World War II, Australia has been a staunch American ally, but the relationship has often struggled.
Not Really Like Us charts interactions between the two countries since the American War of Independence and their influence on each other.
Part history, part travel memoir and cultural investigation, this book analyses these interactions - from literature and film to sport, guns, military history, music, coffee, and profanity.
It asks the question: Does Australia have a 'special relationship' which would compel the people of the United States to come to Australia's aid in the event of conflict? The conclusions will surprise many citizens of both countries.
Not Really Like Us is an invaluable guide for both Australians and Americans in each other's countries, whether as tourists, investors, students, politicians, or more.
