Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A tour de force about the impact of war on one family over the twentieth century.A tour de force about the impact of war on one family over the twentieth century.As deputy director of the Australian War Memorial for many years, Michael McKernan had heard and written about many stories of war. For him, war was never about the big picture; it always came down to the individual. Yet little did he know when he met his future wife in 1989 that her father would soon be telling him, over many leisurely afternoons, his own story, of being made a slave to the Nazis in the Second World War, and its unforeseeable consequences.One of these consequences was that Mychajlo Stawyskyj's son Joe would grow up in Australia in time to be sent to fight in Vietnam, where he would become one of that war's worst casualties.Drawing on his authoritative grasp of twentieth-century history, and in particular military and social history, Michael McKernan pieces together the disrupted lives of his father-in-law and brother-in-law, creating a compelling narrative of general interest, as well as an unforgettable story about the cost of war to one Australian family.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. McKernan frames drought not as an occasional misfortune but as a structural, defining force in Australian life. Drawing on diaries, letters, newspapers, and oral histories, he reconstructs how communities across the continent have endured more than two centuries of recurring drought. The narrative moves chronologically through major drought periods but always returns to the human scale - families watching stock die, towns emptying, governments improvising, and the psychological toll of waiting for rain. Soft covers, clean, tight pages. A very good copy.…

It is a story that subsequent generations should know, and this book is an excellent place for that journey of discovery and understanding to begin.' - Canberra Times 'Concisely and with verve, Michael McKernan covers a huge amount of ground.' - The Sydney Morning Herald Nearly one million Australians out of a total population of just seven million people joined the armed forces in World War II. They made an enormous contribution to the allied war effort; they inflicted the first land defeat of the Japanese at Milne Bay in New Guinea during that war and played a crucial part in the Battle of El Alamein in North Africa, the first defeat on land of the Germans. These victories in battle were only made possible by their support from home.

This is the story of Australia and Australians at war at home and abroad in the six years, 1939 to 1945. Secondhand, Paperback.…
