These Are My People

In these modern times, when Australians are once again searching for their national identity, one author stands out as the epitomy of Australianism and the Australian soul.

Written over twenty-five years ago, when Australia faced the terrible threat of invasion by the Japanese militarists, this book shows today what made this country so strong and defiant at its most agonising hour.

These Are My People is a patriotic book, but it doesn’t shout useless slogans. This novel is about the ordinary Aussie. The men and women who were prepared to stand and fight, not for the glories of war, or for plunder, but because they believed that the defence of freedom and liberty is the right of all mankind and not the right of a handful of dictators.

In a world still too full of aggression and the denial of liberty, Alan Marshall’s World War Two classic once again sets our sight on the all suffering yet sturdy common people who’s defence of their native land must win them eternal praise.
