The saga of the tragic confrontation of the Pintupi People with the white invaders of Central Australia in the period from the 1920s to the 1970s. A novel of the Aboriginal peoples of the Western Deserts.

Macleod tells an ugly story of rape, brutality, murder and the Coniston Massacre of 1928, in the outlying regions of Alice Springs. A story, much more than a social history, attempting to find the heart and soul of Pintupi heroes and heroines. (back cover)
