Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket is in fair condition with tears and scuffing. Dust jacket is now enclosed in a glossy protective cover.

This is a clear and concise survey of Australia's history, politics, industry, agriculture, labour situation, and cultural life, as well as its role in the 2 World Wars and its orientation to world affairs, written in the 1940s.

Originally written with the aim of introducing Australia to America, it is a book for every Australian to read. It is an enlightening and stimulating view of ourselves as others see us, not based on hasty and superficial impressions but on intimate knowledge and careful research. It also presents in a brief and readable form a wealth of information about our country.
