This exciting cavalcade of political cartoons from Australian history which for the first time tells the truth about the country's past. In 380 beautifully illustrated cartoons the artists who were there at the time tell us what really happened. It is not just another illustrated history of Australia as there is no long list of national achievements. Far from it: for this is history seen through the penetrating eyes of the gifted watchdogs whose brutal honesty and sharp pens transform many of our legends into scandals.
