Sydney
Summary
In this illustrated history of Australia's principal metropolis, Moorhouse explains the city in historical terms, describing how it has come to be the way it is - the most attractive of New World cities with all the virtues of American ones, but none of the vices. The Australian ingredients of warmth, loyalty and resilience also play their part.
