Born in 1940? What Else Happened? Australian Social History Book

Description

The Brits had military disasters in Norway, Belgium and Tobruk. German subs sank British shipping, and the Frogs stopped fighting. The Hun Blitzed London. But, against all odds, the Poms survived. In Oz, the Menzies Government rationed food, clothing, petrol, butter, sugar, smokes and shirt tails. It introduced conscription for able-bodied men, internment for Italian men, and banned pink icing on cakes.

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, Mothers Day, Fathers Day and the like.
