Born in 1944? What Else Happened? The Australian Social History Book

Born in 1944? What Else Happened? The Australian Social History Book

Hitler made his biggest mistake in the War when he invaded Russia. Churchill sent Australian troops to the slaughter in Greece and Crete. In the Pacific, America cut off Japan’s resources by blockades in the Pacific and South east Asia. In Oz, we were shocked when the Japs bombed Pearl Harbour in December. The Pacific War started, and Hitler made his second biggest blunder by siding with Japan. Australia was shocked to be under threat.

The books were written by Ron Williams who studied the newspapers day-by-day for a particular year, and then condensed the information into a book for that year.

The books are all A5, black and white, with interesting colour covers. There are no charts or graphs or heavy debate. Just facts and opinions and lots of absurd and bold comments. Very nostalgic, a bit irreverent, for the older reader.

They make great gifts for CHRISTMAS, birthdays, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and the like.
