Born in 1941? What Else Happened? Australian Social History Book

1941. In Europe, 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 her Japan’s resources by blockades. In Oz, we were shocked when the Japs bombed Pearl Harbour in December. A Pacific War, and a war with South East Asia, 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, Mothers Day, Fathers Day and the like.
