Book Description
Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has inscribed inside page
This book charts the thorny path of racial conflict over Western Australia's first 100 years of settled history.
It's a disturbing account spanning the initial tit-for-tat killings, rising to the undeclared war of extermination in the Kimberley, and concluding with oppressive measures of State control over its original inhabitants.
In between are a few luminaries and rare deeds of compassion. (book flap)
