"A history of Australia" is definitive. The late Manning Clark is recognized as the voice of thinking Australia. In this measured yet sweeping history of the nation, Clark brings to our attention the foibles and strengths in every person, traits forced to the fore in the hardship and trauma that occurred during the establishment and development of white settlement in Australia. Clark uses the tragedies and successes of national heroes such as explorers and generals, and those of the average person such as soldiers at Gallipoli and farmers' wives, to create a memorable tableau.
