The Illustrated History of Australia
This vivid book traces the history of the island continent from the age of the dinosaurs through to the coming of the Aboriginal people and their unique culture, to the fateful impact of the first Europeans. From incongruous beginnings as a place of banishment, the Australian colonies - rich in gold and natural resources - became among the wealthiest outposts of the British Empire, and their robust freedoms transformed them into one of the world s first true democracies. The story covers the saga of discovery and exploration; the social experiments that made Australia, a century ago, a model for older societies; the epic of Australian forces in two World Wars; the achievements of Australia in the worlds of sport, science and the arts; the transformation of Australia from the most remote of British communities into one of the world s first successful multi-racial societies; and the influential role played in world affairs by this small nation.
The Peacekeepers
When the Allies achieved victory over Germany and Japan in 1945 the world had been changed forever. Australia, once isolated, was now part of a new world order where Communism was seen as a threat to peace. The struggles for independence by the people of South-East Asia often became full-scale wars. Since 1945, Australian forces have been on active service overseas - fighting insurgency or serving on United Nations 'peace keeping' operations - from Korea and Malaya to Vietnam and Iraq, and in dozens of other trouble spots from Timor to the Solomons.

Featuring text that is bright, readable and rich, and with a treasure trove of illustrations, this is a book designed to adorn every Australian's bookshelf.
