Australia's development, from the most unpromising of beginnings as
a British prison in 1788 to the prosperous liberal democracy of the
present is as remarkable as is its success as a country of
large-scale immigration. Since 1942 it has been a loyal ally of the
United States and has demonstrated this loyalty by contributing
troops to the war in Vietnam and by being part of the "coalition of
the willing" in the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 and in operations
in Afghanistan. In recent years, it has also been more willing to
promote peace and democracy in its Pacific and Asian neighbors.
This fourth edition of Historical Dictionary of Australia covers
its history through a chronology, an introductory essay,
appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section
has over 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities,
politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This
book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and
anyone wanting to know more about Australia.
