Description
Australia A Biography of a Nation tells the story of how a one-time British colony turned itself into a prosperous and confident country. From federation to the Second World War, and from immigration to forging its own unique identity, this book describes Australia's journey through the eyes of ordinary people.
Phillip Knightley weaves together history, travelogue, and memoir to create an inspiring narrative that explores the challenges faced by Australia during times of war, economic hardship, and social change. With a focus on the experiences of everyday Australians, this book provides a unique perspective on one of the country's most significant periods.
