B.A. Santamaria was one of the most controversial Australians of our time, his sphere of influence ranging across the nation's political and social landscape. An ardent anti-Communist and devout Catholic, Santamaria was fiercely intelligent and a natural leader, polarising the community into loyal followers and committed opponents. Spanning sixty years this collection of letters shows facets of Santamaria's personality and activities that have not previously been disclosed. They are both personal and professional and in them he speaks frankly on matters of the state, the Church and family and he is revealed as a person more subtle in his views than his public persona would suggest. His correspondents ranged from prominent politicians, including Malcolm Fraser, Bill Hayden and Clyde Cameron, religious leaders, including Archbishops Mannix and Pell,to influential media and social commentators such as Kerry Packer and Phillip Adams.In the 1940s Santamaria created an anti-Communist organisation, the Movement in Australia, and these letters reveal that he also operated it for decades throughout Asia. He was a keyfigure in the tumultuous split in the 1950s of the Australian Labour Party and subsequently had much influence as a public commentator on his television program Pointof View and his weekly column in The Australian.Santamaria had a strong social conscience and spent much of his time helping the under-privileged, and although he began as an advocate and champion of the Catholic Church,he spent much of his last decades opposing some of its activities.By the 1990s B.A. Santamaria was the only person still active in politics who had been involved in public life before World War II and in the immediate postwar years. The letters offer a rare glimpse into a mind that was preoccupied for more than six decades with world events and ideological controversies.

This is the first book to examine the range of thinking about security that has emerged in the academic literature over the past fifteen years.
