Show notes

One of the nation's most eminent historians, Mark McKenna, has written a new book - The Shortest History of Australia. It's a history of modern Australia permeated by First Nations history; a multicultural society with an island mindset; a continent of epic beauty and extreme natural events; a country obsessed by war abroad but blind to its founding war at home; and a thriving nation-state still to realise its political independence.
