A Nation at Last: The Story of Federation by Kathleen Dermody

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page, now covered with blank ex libris bookplate sticker.

This book is a readable account of how the lofty rhetoric of Federation became a real concern of politicians and of the Australian people. It captures the humour, drama, and disappointments of Federation.

It tells the story of how the dream of a united Australia overcame inter-colonial jealousy, political rivalry, personal ambitions and public apathy to become a reality.
