Their clarion call was answered by women across Australia, who formed groups of their own in Townsville, Brisbane, Newcastle, Wollongong, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth. Of varying ages, backgrounds, and religious and political persuasions, they united under the Save Our Sons banner, determined to end the so-called 'lottery of death'. In 1965, nobody envisaged this would take eight long years, or that some would be jailed in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSOS members initially stood out as respectable voices of middle-class dissent in their sensible shoes, hats, and gloves, but as the war dragged on, some became more radical: staging sit-ins at government buildings, chaining themselves to Canberra's Parliament House, wearing anti-war fashions to the Melbourne Cup, hijacking an evangelical rally, and organising an 'underground' to hide draft resisters. In 1971, the jailing of five Melbourne SOS mums over Easter sparked national outrage, seen by some as a turning point in the anti-war campaign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSet against a backdrop of percolating social change in Australia, \u003cem\u003eSave Our Sons\u003c\/em\u003e is the first national history of the SOS movement and those who answered its call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849950318828,"sku":"9781925835960","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/18684933482873.jpg?v=1759065796"},{"product_id":"vision-and-hope-by-paul-sendziuk-9781761170492","title":"Vision and Hope","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSt Mark's College is the oldest and largest university college in South Australia and boasts numerous distinguished alumni, including former South Australian premiers Don Dunstan and John Bannon, 30 Rhodes Scholars, members of the 'Angry Penguins' literary set, and many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCommemorating the College's centenary, \u003ci\u003eVision and Hope\u003c\/i\u003e is an illustrated history of St Mark's and the people who have passed through its doors over the past 100 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSt Mark's was founded through the efforts of a group of tireless individuals and generous philanthropy.
