At a time when Australia’s involvement with Europe and Asia is coming under increasing academic scrutiny, an area which has continued to be neglected has been Australia’s relations with the Pacific Islands of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia situated so closely north and east of its coast. While others have touched on this subject briefly, Roger Thompson’s Australian Imperialism in the Pacific presents for the first time a detailed, meticulously researched and scholarly investigation which covers the period from the early days of the colony of New South Wales to the end of the First World War. It is, then, a timely study, filling a gap in our knowledge, and it is sure to be welcomed by scholars of both Australian and Pacific history.
