Man who invented Vegemite: the true story behind an Australian icon. Jamie Callister and Rod Howard. 2011.

 Today more than 22 million jars of Vegemite are sold each year,, but when the salty black paste was first produced in 1923 the public wasn’t interested.nIn fact, it took another fifteen years and a world war before we embraced it.

Man who invented Vegemite spans the Gold Rush, the Depression and two world world wars and it opens a fascinating window both on the evolution of modern Australia and the quiet achievements, and tragedies, of one man.
