Organised alphabetically, the work chronicles the key events, figures, movements, and milestones that have shaped the Australian nation, from the earliest European settlement and the struggles of the colonial era through to the landmark moments of the twentieth century, including two World Wars, political upheaval, and the rise of a distinctly Australian culture.\n\nLarkins brings to this reference work the clarity and depth of a seasoned historian, distilling complex historical threads into concise, illuminating entries that are as useful to the student as they are to the curious general reader. The Dictionary of Australian History stands as an essential companion for anyone seeking to understand the forces, personalities, and defining incidents that built a nation — leaving the reader to wonder just how much of Australia's remarkable past remains yet to be discovered.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49210261799131,"sku":"2026200017403-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/922a4bd8-24b5-4b83-936b-60cbac062aa1.png?v=1788268282","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200017403-secondhand-dictionary-of-australian-history","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
