A Short History of AustraliaManning Clark's short history, first published in 1963, has been revised and updated to 1986 with some alterations and corrections made to the text. Clark's colourful style and bold opinions make him a controversial historian but this rendition of Australian history, now enlivened by stimulating illustrations and photographs, is still regarded as a standard work. |
