Helen Doyle’s Suburbs at War turns the quiet streets of Melbourne’s Stonnington district into a living wartime archive. Drawing on local memories and council records, this 2015 first edition shows how suburban households coped with rationing, fundraising and fear during global conflict.

The book is a must-have for collectors of Australian local history and anyone tracing Victoria’s home-front stories. Doyle blends biography with civic chronicle, mapping how ordinary neighbourhoods became an unlikely battleground of morale and industry.

This copy is in very good condition with clean, tidy pages and carries a neat gift inscription on the dedication page. The paperback first printing from City of Stonnington is increasingly scarce, especially intact.

Add a piece of Melbourne suburbia to your shelf and discover how back fences, gardens and shopfronts helped win the war.
