Generations of Australians have been taught that no wars have ever been fought on Australian soil. Yet as many as 20,000 black Australians died fighting a war of resistance that lasted for more than a century. This book presents an alternative view of history. Through detailed accounts of four great clashes, it confronts the reader with the realities of life on the Australian frontier. Through a retelling of the stories of Vinegar Hill and Eureka it reminds the reader of the central place of resistance in Australia's history.
