Taking a dozen key episodes and themes, ranging from William Wentworth's attempt in the nineteenth century at setting up an imitation House of Lords, to royal visits and social snobbery, Gallipoli, the great 1920s cricketing drama of Bodyline, the alleged betrayal by Churchill of Australia in WWII, the birth of the Whingeing Pom, the classification of Australians by the British as foreigners, and the roots of the modern Republican movement, Davie has combined historical enquiry with interviews, original research, and his own encounters and experiences. He gives an account of a subject that should interest everyone who knows or hopes to know Australia, from the cricket-lovers who hate Shane Warne to the thousands with an auntie in Perth.
