Publisher's Synopsis
Over the past 17 years the author, Ron Williams, has written this series of books that present a social history of Australia in the post-war period. They cover the period for 1939 to 1975, with one book for each year. Thus there are 37 books.
To capture the material for each book, the author, Ron Williams, worked his way through the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age/Argus day-by-day, and picked out the best stories, ideas and trivia. He then wrote them up into 180 pages of a year-book.
He writes in a direct conversational style, he has avoided statistics and charts, and has produced easily-read material that is entertaining, and instructive, and charming.
They are invaluable as gifts for birthdays, Christmas, and anniversaries, and for the oldies who are hard to buy for. These are also available at all major retailers.
