The Human Face Of The Great Depression
By Michael Cannon
Published by Today's Australia Publishing Company: Mornington 1997 1st Paperback Edition

"Michael Cannon's The Human Face of the Great Depression is a powerful and deeply human account of how ordinary Australians endured the hardships of the 1930s. Drawing on personal letters, eyewitness testimonies, newspaper accounts, and oral histories, Cannon shifts the focus from politics and economics to the lived experiences of families, workers, the unemployed, and the forgotten. The narrative captures the emotional weight of the era—its anxieties, resilience, social dislocation, and unexpected acts of kindness—while illustrating how the Depression reshaped Australian society, identity, and community life.

First published in 1996 as a signed limited hardback, this 1997 first paperback edition presents Cannon's vivid storytelling and careful research in an accessible format. Richly illustrated and thoughtfully structured, the book explores themes such as urban hardship, rural collapse, government responses, women's struggles, and everyday survival strategies. It remains one of the most compelling social histories of the period. A superb choice for readers of Australian history, social history enthusiasts, and collectors of Michael Cannon's works."
