ABC Radio Australia has been a constant voice in international broadcasting for more than 80 years.

Australia Calling: The ABC Radio Australia Story is an account of Australia's international radio service from its earliest days as an anti-propaganda service in the opening days of WWII. It tracks the service's evolution through the tumultuous shifts in geopolitics and media technology of the twentieth century, and into a new era of dialogue across the Pacific region.

Written and researched by one of ABC Radio Australia's long-term journalists, this book is a timely account of this much valued international service and a reflection of Australia's evolving place in the world.
