It's an overview of the effects of New Zealand's nuclear ban in 1984 and how the ban is viewed in 2006, 22 years later and long after the end of the Cold War. It talks about how it was seen as a step New Zealand's government was taking at the time in response to the Mutually Assured Destruction and nuclear deterrent policies that both the Soviet Union and the United States and both country's allies applied during the Cold War. It also examines how this ban shaped the view of New Zealand in the foreign politics spectrum.

This speaks of economic reform in New Zealand in 1984-85, the year the nuclear ban took place. These economic reforms were part of NZ's Parliament's push to change from what was nearly a welfare state into a more mixed and less regulated economy. This is related to the nuclear ban in how the government in NZ was beginning to completely change their policies, both economically and politically.

This is a book about the ANZUS (Australia, New Zealand, United States) treaty and how the alliance between New Zealand and the US was weakened by New Zealand's ban on nuclear energy and nuclear weaponry. This looks into the foreign policies of all three countries and the crisis that followed the 1984 ban. It also looks into how New Zealand was trying to use it's ban as a deterrent to the use of nuclear warfare.

This part of a book on international politics talks about the alliance between Australia, New Zealand, and the US in the 1950's. This lays the groundwork for the relationship between the three countries. It also provides the foundation for why New Zealand would take such an approach towards the idea of nuclear warfare.

This book talks about the ANZUS treaty from the Australian perspective. It talks about how the treaty influenced Australian politics, its relationship with the US and how Australia viewed the nuclear ban in NZ. As of now, Australia remains one of the US's biggest allies and allows its Navy to make port in Australian cities and supports the US in almost every major conflict, including both Iraq and Afghanistan.
