US Warships Visit Australia 1941 Welcoming Happy WWII Book w Great Photos For Sale

An original copy of "Australia 1941"- a pictorial history of this visit by seven American warships as "streets rocked with thunder of joy." At this point, Australia is at war but America has not yet entered. The US ships and sailors receive a cheering welcome and one gets the impression from this New York-printed book that it is an inspirational piece of propaganda designed to help Roosevelt decide to push the United States into the struggle, with headlines like "Roosevelt speaks - Australia listens." Awesome photos and wonderful text. About 11 1/2" x 9", about 30 pages, very well illustrated.
Fair condition as shown due to the front cover detaching. Inside, toning from age, minor dog-earing and other typical vintage wear.A wonderful WWII book and an excellent addition to any collection. I ship every day the post office is open with your item safely packed for protection, and I always combine shipping and will refund back the overage.
