The 1970s in Australia were tough times. They were times of enormous social change, political upheaval, technological development and economic deterioration. They saw Australia change forever from an insular, conservative society to a cosmopolitan, sophisticated country with major social problems.

Living in the 70s was a challenging experience for millions of Australians. Tough Times was the first book to give a historical overview of the 1970s. It combines a chronological approach with an analytical discussion of themes of interest to many - political, economic and social history.

Tough Times may be seen as a sequel to A New History of Australia and to the fifth volume of A Documentary History of Australia, both edited by Frank Crowley.
