A$23.10
To get the material for the books, the writer, Ron Williams, worked his way through newspapers, magazines, books, and other sources day by day until he came up with most of the major events and ideas, and trivia, of those years. He presents them in a thoroughly readable book, with a mixture of humour and gravitas. He is a septuagenarian who publishes his own books, and intends to write until he finishes the 36 books in these series.
In 1945, the Japs gave up and the Germans gave up. In Oz, every Jap was hated for the next twenty years at least. Bulldogging and buckjumping were quite popular, and the distinction between Communism and Socialism was not all the clear. Our servicemen had been promised their jobs back when they returned to civvies, but this presented lots of problems. Anyway, getting transport for them to return home to Oz was not easy. The Brits were starving, and our own Bundles for Britain helped a lot. Rubber tyres for cars and bikes will be on sale next year, rationing of silk stockings will be abolished. Could the world get any better? William Dobell went to Court to prove his Archibald-winning portrait was in fact a portrait.
