Donald Horne, one of Australia's most incisive public intellectuals, presents a vivid and authoritative account of a society straining against its own contradictions — wrestling with the Vietnam War, conscription, Indigenous rights, and a cultural awakening that reshaped the national identity. Written with the sharp analytical wit that defined Horne's earlier masterwork The Lucky Country, the narrative illustrates how a generation of Australians began to demand more from their democracy, their institutions, and themselves. Horne argues that this era was not merely a shift in government but a fundamental reimagining of what Australia could and should be, making this an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the roots of contemporary Australian political life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792229019867,"sku":"2026600000243-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/7e1e974b-93f9-4eb8-b42c-a351a41275c6.png?v=1779273627","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000243-secondhand-time-of-hope-australia-1966-72","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
