Overview: It’s tough to condense the history of any nation into a book of any size. That’s particularly true of Australia, with its vast landscape, rich Aboriginal cultures, dramatic entrance into the European imagination, rip-roaring tales of a pioneer past, and relentless push for progress. In just a few centuries, Australia has gone from a largely self-contained hinterland to playing a key role on the world stage, in both wartime and peace. That journey hasn’t been free from setbacks, missteps and the occasional trek down the wrong path, but it has also been one of grit, determination and success, characterised by the boldness, strength and adaptability of the Aussie national spirit. From challenging the British Empire for control over its own destiny (while maintaining friendly relations) to defending itself and its allies from invasion, from trying to address past colonial mistakes to celebrating the cultural diversity that makes it unique, the history of Australia is, overall, a resounding success story that would make any nation proud. read less
