Description

The story of Australia in the middle decades of the 20th century from 1930 to 1980 is one of dramatic contrast; of dark days and light of economic struggle, anxiety, war and sacrifice, giving way from the 1950s onwards to pros-perity, plenty and confidence. In Living Memory surveys these decades with a collection of fascinating and entertaining photographs of everyday Australian life. Author Alasdair McGregor places the images in their historical context with a thoughtful essay to introduce each of the four chapters the way we lived, the way we moved, the way we worked and the way we played. This warmly nostalgic collection will appeal to all ages.
