"Each book in the 'Australian Retrospectives' series examines a formative issue in Australian history. 'Implicated', the second publication in the series, examines the involvement of the United States in Australia's economic, political and cultural history. The US has not simply imposed on Australia a version of itself, nor has it made Australia a dependent, Americanised satellite. Rather, it is an ambiguous model for Australia - a promise as well as a threat. Despite the 'decline' of American power and the end of the cold war, the implications of American power and example continue to colour Australia's political and social identity."
