Born in 1972? What Else Happened? The Australian Social History Book

Born in 1972? What Else Happened? The Australian Social History Book

It was Time for a Change in Federal Government as Whitlam brought Labor back from the dead, and in our relations with China. Number 96 won the TV credits, women got equal pay for equal work, and call-up of Nashos ended. Israelis were killed at the Munich Olympic Games. Plane hijackers were now being shot overseas, and car seat belts were an issue at home.

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.
