Are we too quick as a nation to forget those who shaped us? This book is a collection of short biographies of ten remarkable Australians who were well-known at one stage in the 20^th Century, but have since been forgotten. Ian MacFarlane draws lessons for the present from their lives, as well as providing greater understanding of who we are as a nation.

The book has received praise from across the spectrum:

 “An outstanding achievement: the forgotten heroes of Australia’s great era of adventure and creativity brought to life.” - Lindsay Tanner

“Ian Macfarlane has brought to life ten remarkably different, highly influential, and above all else, talented Australians. Most importantly, the book is so easy to read…because each character is so refreshingly different.” - John Howard

 “I love the prose! Well written, entertaining, insightful, evocative.” - Peter FitzSimons

“This is a journey into Australia’s forgotten past, a series of compelling portraits of astonishing figures whose lives deserve to be recalled and celebrated.” - Paul Kelly

On behalf of Connor Court and the Australian Institute for Progress, I hope to see you there.

Graham Young
