If there are real questions about the history of Australia, there is something to puzzle over. History is no longer a predictable # 8212; and dull.

From the author of the shortest history of Europe, a well-known historian John Hirst, comes this fresh and stimulating approach to understanding the past and present in Australia.

Hurst asks and answers questions, which get to the heart of Australia's history:
Why natives do not become farmers? How to change the colony peacefully to democracy? Why is Australia so rich so early? Why Australian colonies federated? What effect convict origins have on the national character? Why is the post-war migration program success? Why is Australia not a republic? Engaging and fun, and are written for the novice and the expert, so Australian history in 7 questions explains how we have become a nation we are today.

# 8216; If you do not always agree with the answers, you will undoubtedly acquire a new interest in the issues. This, of course, is the highest hope of a good story # 8217 # 8212; Saturday paper
