Helen Doyle’s Suburbs at War turns quiet Melbourne streets into a living wartime archive, charting how ordinary suburban life in Victoria collided with global conflict. First edition paperback, 2015 release from City of Stonnington, now very good and inscription-notated inside.

From fundraising dances in Glen Iris to rationing queues in Malvern, Doyle stitches personal memories, council records and wartime industry reports into a fast-moving local history. Readers after Australian suburb, Melbourne or true-story titles will find fresh detail on how war reshaped city planning, businesses and back-fence gossip alike.

The book carries a neat dedication-page inscription (not author-signed) and clean, tidy pages throughout—ideal for collectors of first-edition Australian history or anyone curious about their street’s wartime past.
