On the Home Front Melbourne in Wartime 1939-1945: Kate Darian-Smith (engl.) 280 S.

What really happened on the Australian home front during the Second World War?
For the people of Melbourne these were years of social dislocation and increased government interference in all aspects of their daily lives. This study examines the experiences of families living at a time when food and clothing were rationed and adequate housing was hard to come by. It is the story of their work, leisure, and relationships, and of their fear too, for by 1942 the city parklands were pitted with air raid trenches, and in the half-light of the brownout Melburnians awaited a Japanese invasion.
