Alcoa of Australia was the offspring of an at first hesitant union between an Australian mining group headed by Western Mining and the Pittsburgh-based Aluminum Company of America. The natural resource that gave rise to this development---the extensive reserves of bauxite in the Darling Range near Perth---had been known about for decades but was shunned as worthless.

In this far-reaching history, Geoffrey Blainey details with insight and clarity the story of Alcoa, from the visionary work of the mining entrepreneur Lindesay Calrk, the first chairman of Alcoa of Australia, to the emergence in the 1990s of a global alliance, Alcoa World Alumina, the world's largest alumina producer.
