Product Information
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. Six Australian Battlefields 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. And through a retelling of the stories of Vinegar Hill and Eureka it reminds the reader of the central place of resistance in our past. '.very few Australians will probably ever conceive of a battle of the Hawkesbury, or a battle for the possession of Parramatta. this book creates for Australians a more real and understandable past.' Eric Wilmot, Melbourne Herald 'The occupation of Australia by white civilisation was not inevitable, not ordained, not morally justified. It was the result of a series of vicious and bloody encounters all around Australia which left thousands of the original inhabitants dead. Grassby and Hill have done the community a service in retelling these stories of Aboriginal resistance.' Brian Dickey, Adelaide Advertiser 'They have laid bare the blood-stained link between Australia's past and its present.' Barry York, Canberra TimesProduct Identifiers
