Born in 1966? What Else Happened? The Australian Social History Book

Born in 1966? What Else Happened? The Australian Social History Book

The Vietnam War started to heat up in January, and got hotter as the year progressed. Our young 20-year old boys were conscripted via a birthday lottery and, by year end, 60 were dead. Joern Utzen ran up too many bills at the Sydney Opera House, so his resignation was accepted. President Johnson came all the way to Australia, roller games on TV were shockers, and our cemeteries were no places for the living.

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.
