When Donald Horne last set out to revise and update The Lucky Country, his prodigious best-seller of the 1960s, he found himself writing, willy-nilly, a new book. Not only had Australia changed since The Lucky Country's first appearance, so had Donald Horne. He found that he had altered many of his earlier views and formed new ones in response to fresh developments at home and abroad.

He had also become more keenly interested in both Australia's past and its possible future. He was therefore able to introduce into this new book two dimensions that were lacking in the earlier one - an examination of the ways by which Australians came to be as they are and the ways in which they might cope most successfully in terms of their past and present, with the problems and challenges they will face in the year ahead.
