A Secret Country
Pilger, John
ISBN: 0224026003
Jonathan Cape London 1989 First British Edition
Octavo- over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Black Cloth Gilt Spine 750 g.; VI, 298 pp., photographic illustrated dustwrapper. 47 illustrations in black and white, and 12 cartoon style drawings in black and white. Minor edgewear to the base of the boards, the dustwrapper is slightly crumpled along the bottom edge and has slight edgewear also. John Pilger writes about his homeland, Australia, with affection, humour, a passionately critical eye and, above all, a commitment to revealing the truth behind the misleading facade erected during 1988 bicentenary celebrations. Constantly drawn back to Australia's friendliness, warmth and diamond light, he nonetheless regards his own country as secret, land half-won, its epic and rapacious story half told. Australiana Good
