“The Land of Dreams: How Australians Won Their Freedom, 1788-1860 tells the story of how Australians gained the liberties they desired to take control of their lives, the right to govern themselves and the capacity to address their own political problems through democratic institutions. As the first book in a landmark five-volume Australian Liberalism series, The Land of Dreams describes how Australians laid the foundations for one of the world’s most successful countries, with unprecedented levels of personal liberty and social equality.” (from publisher’s blurb)
