Idézet:The history of Australia has been written before - but not like this. In The Shortest History of Australia, Mark McKenna offers a compelling new version of our national story. This is a modern Australia permeated by First Nations history; a multicultural society with an island mindset; a continent of epic beauty and extreme natural events; a country obsessed by war abroad but blind to its founding war at home; and a thriving nation-state still to realise its political independence.
McKenna's wise and humane history reveals the surprising in the familiar, and reframes the past so we can see the present more clearly.
