3687. Australia: A Biography of a Nation, by Phillip Knightley (read 27 Jan 2003) This book spends most of its time on Australia after federation in 1901, and I found it of great interest. Chapter 7, entitled "Black Australia", was especially eye-opening for me. I found this a great book, though maybe the author is not too objective, and there are no footnotes nor bibliography. A most worthwhile book, and some chapters are extremely informative and attention-holding. (
