Over the past 20 years the author, Ron Williams, has written this series of books that present a social history of Australia in the post-war period. They cover the period for 1939 to 1974, with one book for each year. Thus there are 34 books.
To capture the material for each book, he worked his way through the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age/Argus day-by-day, and picked out the best stories, ideas and trivia. He then wrote them up into about 180 pages of a year-book.
He writes in a simple direct style, he has avoided statistics and charts, and has produced easily-read material that is entertaining, and instructive, and charming.
They are invaluable as gifts for birthdays, Christmas, and anniversaries, and for the oldies who are hard to buy for.
These books are available at all major retailers such as Dymocks and Collins. Also at on-line retailers such as Booktopia and Amazon, and your local newsagent.
Over the next few pages, summaries of other books in the Series are presented. A synopsis of all books in the Series is available from boombooks.biz
