Biography & Memoir History Australiana
The Limits Of Hope Soldier Settlement In Victoria 1915-38 by Marilyn Lake is a hardcover historical non‑fiction work that explores Australian soldier settlement after the First World War. This title is a valuable addition for anyone interested in Australian history, military history and social policy of the early 20th century.
The book comes with its original dust jacket, which shows some scuffing and wear and includes a 3 cm tear along the edge. Despite these signs of use, the jacket remains intact and protects the volume.
Inside, the first three pages exhibit decreasing stains and marks, and two pages have modest dog‑ears, but the remaining pages are clean, tidy, and well‑preserved. A slight smoky odour is present, typical of older paper items.
Overall, this edition is a solid choice for collectors, scholars and readers seeking insight into the soldier settlement scheme in Victoria between 1915 and 1938.
