Australia: An Illustrated History by Anthony K Macdougall

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners. Faint mark on lower right foredge.

A treasure trove of a book presenting the history of Australia over two centuries from before the First Fleet to the recent Iraqi conflict. It has 500 pictures in monochrome and colour and a bright readable text rich in little known facts about a remarkable country.

The book covers the saga of discovery and exploration, the social experiments that made Australia a model for older societies and the Australian participation in two World Wars. (publisher blurb)
