Viac o knihe

The intense public debate surrounding Australia's history has led to significant polarization among its citizens, with key topics including the concept of the 'fair go', Indigenous dispossession, the Anzac legend, and the strategic alliance with the United States. In their exploration, Stuart Macintyre and Anna Clark highlight how historians have become embroiled in this ideological conflict. This edition features a new afterword by Macintyre, reflecting on the controversies that arose after the book's initial release and the implications for understanding Australian history.
