bitter rivals go to war.

Two hundred and
forty years years after
James Cook's death,
FitzSimons reveals
what kind of man
James was at heart:
his strengths and
weaknesses, passions and pursuits, failures
and successes. James Cook reveals the man
behind the myth.
Drawing on Ross
Smith's private
papers, Anzac and
Aviator tells the story
of a remarkable aviator,
the extraordinary
times in which he lived and the air race that
changed the world.
In Convict Colony
David Hill, author of
1788, tells the story
of the first three
decades of Britain's
earliest colony in
Australia in a fresh
and compelling way.
In this, the most
comprehensive
biography yet of this
colonial governor,
biographer Grantlee
Kieza draws on
Macquarie's detailed
journals. Ultimately, Macquarie laid the
foundations for a new nation, but, in the
process, he played a part in the dispossession
of the continent's original people.

Caroline’s Dilemma
sheds new light
on the workings
of colonial gender
relationships and
family. It reveals
much about women’s
property rights and migration. It shows how
one middle-class woman and her family
fought to shape their own lives within the
British Empire.
Nick Richardson
RRP $35.00
This book debunks
one of the cliches in Australian history – that
the 1950s was a dull decade. Rather, by
the time the '60s came around, Australia
was expanding its outlook - politically,
economically, and culturally - and central to
this were the events of 1956.
