When the Tulips Bled by Lance Grimstone
This historic novel is told by a geologist with a unique forensic talent for exploring the past, and an even more unique flair for placing the reader in the centre of the action. The story is woven around first-hand accounts of the tragedy which enveloped the peaceful country of Holland when it was over-run by the armies of Hitler. The Author married into a Dutch family and listened intently to their stories, enabling him to paint this vivid picture of the war-torn Holland from which they fled. This gripping narrative is dedicated to all who suffered there during WW II.
When the Tulips Bled is the first of a series of novels scratching beneath the surface of our immigrant past, to thread together what it is to be Australian. The next book in the series is Brother Rats.

Your Future in Your Hands - Total Tax Reform by John McRobert
A companion to the author's first book on major tax reform 'A Diet of 2% - can prevent harder tax', this book describes the results of a comprehensive computer model of the Australian economy which, probably for the first time, shows tax by tax and State by State how much each industry sector contributes to the government. This also shows how a simple, alternative method of funding government can allow 1 to 2 million new jobs to be created in the private sector to reduce the need for much government expenditure in social welfare, and to spread a greatly reduced tax burden more equitably across the community.
Only total tax reform can allow the Australian economy to prosper. This is a must read for every citizen who cares about the future.
