Synopsis

Our memory of the post-war years are dominated by myths - the boom years of unprecedented prosperity and stability. John Murphy reveals the much more complex reality behind these myths. The book focuses on the sentiments and attitudes of the middle-class constituency that kept the Menzies government in power after 1949.
