From the birth of Federation to the dramatic political upheavals of the Whitlam era, A Nation for a Continent: the history of Australia 1901-1975 chronicles over seven decades of Australian nationhood with scholarly rigour and narrative clarity. Russel Ward charts the young Commonwealth's turbulent journey through two World Wars, the Great Depression, waves of immigration, and the social revolutions of the 1960s and 70s, presenting a sweeping portrait of a country forging its identity on the world stage. Ward, one of Australia's most celebrated historians and the author of the seminal The Australian Legend, brings his characteristic gift for synthesis and storytelling to this revised edition, weaving together political, economic, and social threads into a cohesive national narrative. His prose is authoritative yet accessible, making complex historical forces understandable without sacrificing depth or nuance. This indispensable volume remains a cornerstone of Australian historiography — essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the forces that shaped the modern Australian character.
