An Australian Perspective.
The history of the human race is a story of courage and initiative, of ruthless war and rare peace, of long periods of stagnation and occasional great initiatives. Above all, it is our story, the explanation of how we came to be what we are. Misused, history becomes propaganda and promotes hatred and conflict. Balanced and unbiased history can help to eliminate such prejudice and misunderstanding. This book is an effort at presenting a balanced history of the world. It's brevity and clarity make it easy and satisfying material for the busy reader today.
