This is a series of books about life in Australia – one for each year from 1939. They describe happenings that affected people, real people. The whole series, to coin a modern phrase, is designed to push your buttons, to make you remember and wonder at things forgotten.
The books might just let nostalgia see the light of day, so that oldies and youngies will talk about the past and re-discover a heritage otherwise forgotten. Hopefully, they will spark discussions between generations, and foster the asking and answering of questions that should not remain unanswered.
In 1962, the Pill was helping to change attitudes to birth control and women’s roles, our Joan was recognised on the world stage, tensions with Indonesia over West Irian and Cold War incidents such as the Cuba crisis intensified fears of ‘Reds under the Beds’.

I was disappointed when I received my books. As the books, as advertised, have photos on the cover, I expected photos in the book. It's text only and around paperback size. It was not what I was expecting.
Very disappointed. I believed this would have the Year's headings with interesting, informative facts about all things Aus that happened in that year , with maybe some facts of the previous & following year included.It WAS to be a gift to my eldest son.
Great books
