Dunera Lives: Volume 1: A Visual History by Ken Inglis et al

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Ex library copy with external sticker and protective plastic covering. Stamps on inside pages. Wear to book corners and edges. Some minor marks on book foredges. Book is clean and binding is still very good.

The story of the 'Dunera Boys' is an intrinsic part of the history of Australia in the Second World War and in its aftermath. The injustice these 2000 men suffered through British internment in camps at Hay, Tatura and Orange is well known. Less familiar is the tale of what happened to them afterwards.

This book tells the story primarily through images. The images, beautiful and powerful, reveal tales of struggle, sadness, transcendence, and creativity, and describe the lives of these men and of the society in which they lived, first as prisoners and then as free men. (back cover)
