A Short History of Australia & Britain
by Tom Lawson
Looking back over my life, I now realise what a prodigious period of change my parents and following generations have lived through. Many of these systems have progressed so far that many have come and gone without us even remembering them now.
This little book is an attempt to trace some of the main events and technological changes that have shaped our lives in the 20th and 21st centuries. It concentrates on British and Australian history mainly because I began my life in Scotland, but also since my family and I are all now Australian.
For my grandchildren. I rather enjoyed researching and writing about them.
