In this volume a lively and distinguished assembly of fellow historians take a fresh look at Blainey's distinguished career. They examine his views on Aboriginality, ethnicity, environmentalism, gender, empire, immigration, technology, corporate history, labour, war, sport and media - the sheer range speaks for itself.
