Penglase, Joanna and David Horner: When the War Came to Australia: Memories of the Second World War
Book Number: 51916
Allen & Unwin November 13, 1992 8vo softcover 272pp very good. Index. Illustrated with b&w in-text photo's. This social history of the impact of World War II on Australia focuses on how the war was greeted on the homefront; the reaction to the arrival of the Americans; the fears generated by the bombing of Darwin and Japanese submarines in Sydney Harbour; the PoW experience; and the roles and challenges the war presented to women. Although more Australians were killed in the World War I than in World War II, many more Australians were directly affected by the World War II. It continued two years longer, it was closer to home, the enemy actually attacked Australian soil and greater demands were made upon the economy. Based on the ABC television series of the same name, this book contains the recollections of hundreds of people interviewed about their feelings and experiences of war in Australia. It is set in the context of the whole war by David Horner's introductions to each chapter. "When the War Came to Australia" presents the shared experiences of millions of Australians who did not serve overseas, but contributed in their own ways to the war effort.

Jamrozik, Adam: The Chains of Colonial Inheritance: Searching for Identity in a Subservient Nation
Book Number: 51944
University of New South Wales Press June 1, 2004 8vo softcover 224pp very good. Explores the issue of Australia's ongoing difficulties in establishing an independent national identity. He then traces these difficulties to what he identifies as 'unresolved issues' in Australian society inherited from the colonial days, including the 'hybrid' political system, a hostility to non-Europeans, resistance to reconciliation, the rejection of multiculturalism, the ongoing degradation of the natural environment, and a lack of serious engagement with Asian and Pacific countries despite the geographic proximity.
