Description
SECOND HAND BOOK
It was a time of fear, hope, laughter and hardship. Here, told through the compelling wartime reports and pictures from the Herald and The Sun, is the forgotten history of World War II – the story of our Home Front. All the drama of those turbulent years is here – the Leonski murders, rationing, black markets, dances, all-in brawls, air raid drills, Victory girls and racing scandals.
Foreword by Geoffrey Blainey. Afterword by Joan Kirner. 287 PP with b/w illustrations: front page and extracts of Melbourne daily newspapers “The Sun” and “The Herald”, plus 16 pages with colour illustrations (artworks by Roy Hodginkson, comic strips (“Bib and Bub” and “Ginger Meggs”), and 8 pages of “War Posters”.
