Day of Reckoning
By: Strahan, Lachlan
Published by: Pandanus Books
In 1948, as the jungle reclaimed the detritus left by World War II, a series of violent crimes were committed in Papua New Guinea and the Dutch East Indies. Linked by questions of race, the civil and military authorities of Australia, the United States, China, the Netherlands and the Philippines were stung into action. Lachlan Strahan weaves the facts of these crimes into a story of compelling interest. This highly original history skilfully explores the complexities of international relations and paints a vivid portrait of people trying to cope with a confused and rapidly changing postwar world.

Destination Australia
By: Richards, Eric
Published by: University of New South Wales Press
In 1901 most Australians were loyal, white subjects of the British Empire with direct connections to Britain. Within a hundred years, following an unparalleled immigration program, its population was one of the most diverse on earth. No other country has achieved such radical social and demographic change in so short a time. Destination Australia tells the story of this extraordinary transformation. Against the odds, this change has caused minimal social disruption and tension. While immigration has generated some political and social anxieties, Australia has maintained a stable democracy and a coherent social fabric. One of the impressive achievements of the book is in explaining why this might be so.
