It is also one of the most passionately debated visions of Australian history, in which the struggle to realise an Australian nation is played out on an epic scale. A History of Australia- 1888-1945, covers Federation, the Boer War and World War I's Gallipoli.
It finishes with the story of an emerging Australian identity at the point of its greatest trial-the outbreak of World War II. This is not a general Australian history-it does not attempt to cover all aspects-and it is not a definitive or quantitative analysis.
It is a work of art, a living and breathing account of the remaking of a primitive continent, history come alive.
