ISBN10: 064299367X, ISBN13: 9780642993670, [publisher: Australian War Memorial] Hardcover First Edition Green cloth covers with gilt at spine, no jacket. The writing of the first volume of the political and social section of the history of Australia in the war of 1939-45 was completed by the author in August 1949 and the book went to press in January 1951. As explained, in the preface of that book, the work was originally planned as one volume and it was only when a substantial part of the manuscript was in the hands of the General Editor that it was decided, in May 1950, to divide it into two sections. **The book has tanning and the names of the previous owners on labels inside the front and back covers.**
