'This work describes a major immigration programme from the United Kingdom to Western Australia, with its genesis as far back as 1904. Its purpose is to record an outstanding historical and human undertaking between 1921-1945. Its special importance is that it is written by the only man now alive who was associated with the administration of the scheme from start to finish, which was from 1955-1970' (dustwrapper blurb).
