Alan Gourley’s 1987 trade paperback “Democracy And Treason In Australia” dissects a turbulent chapter of Australian history, tracing how wartime fears collided with civil liberties. In just 95 crisp pages the author lays out court records, political memos and personal accounts that expose the thin line between national security and democratic betrayal.

Ideal for students of Australian history, true-crime buffs and educators, this compact reference book delivers a concise yet powerful classroom or bookshelf resource. Vintage collectors seeking first-edition Australiana will appreciate its 1987 publication date and the immediacy of Gourley’s contemporary perspective.

The book shows gentle signs of its age: the cover carries light shelf scuffing, a discreet ownership stamp appears on the front endpaper, and faint spotting touches the upper page edges without intruding on text. Inside, pages remain crisp, unmarked and firmly bound—no dog-ears, no smoke odours, ready for immediate reading or display.
