Alfred's War is a powerful story that unmasks the lack of recognition given to Australian Indigenous servicemen who returned from the WWI battlelines. Alfred was just a young man when he was injured and shipped home from France. Neither honoured as a returned soldier or offered government support afforded to non-Indigenous servicemen, Alfred took up a solitary life walking the back roads – billy tied to his swag, finding work where he could.
Alfred was a forgotten soldier. Although he had fought bravely in the Great War, as an Aboriginal man he wasn't classed as a citizen of his own country. Yet Alfred always remembered his friends in the trenches and the mateship they had shared. Sometimes he could still hear the never-ending gunfire in his head and the whispers of diggers praying. Every year on ANZAC Day, Alfred walked to the nearest town, where he would quietly stand behind the people gathered and pay homage to his fallen mates.
Rachel Bin Salleh's poignant narrative opens our hearts to the sacrifice and contribution that Indigenous people have made to Australia's war efforts, the true extent of which is only now being revealed.
'Every year sees a swell of new stories about ANZAC
Day and Alfred's War is my pick of
2018's crop…It's a poignant story, one rooted in truth, and a damning critique
of Australian history. Rachel Bin Salleh skilfully renders some tough subjects accessible
for young readers, without ever ign

Great Historical, Nostalgic Read
Format: Paperback
If you're looking for an anthology of early Superman stories, this book will meet all your needs. It has full-color pictures, entire stories, and cover pages (even when Superman wasn't featured on the cover). If you're in the market for a historical, nostalgic, read: this is a good book. If you're in the market for great Superman stories, you might want to look elsewhere: these early, experimental tales are exciting, but the best of the character is yet to come. As is noted on the back, this rough-and-tough defender of the oppressed isn't the 'boy scout' Superman most of us know and love.

I hope DC comics sees this series through to the end
Format: Paperback
I've been looking for several years for a way to go back and read the original Superman comics without necessarily becoming a comic book collector. The goal of this series is to reprint every single Superman comic book story from 1938 to the present. I don't know when Volume 2 will come out, but I intent to collect all of them! I just hope that sales are sufficient for DC Comics to keep publishing these.
In terms of the content of the book, as other reviewers have already pointed out, Superman is quite different from the one we know today, both in terms of his powers and his sense of ethics. All of this adds to the sense that you're reading a bit of American cultural history.

Superman is really SUPER!
Format: Paperback
Fans of superheroes cannot do without this collection of the earliest stories of the Man of Tomorrow. Superman is the epitome of what followed in the era of early superheroes and laid the groundwork for comics even today, as well as radio, TV and movie versions.

Nice collection
Format: Paperback
This is completely worth the money and the time to read. It's like taking a time machine to before he was famous. Man, this is not like present day stories and art. To me this is a history book for every comic book fan. Much like the Bstman Chronicles.
