Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent. Dust jacket has light creasing at edges and spine.

This book is the dramatic story of the collision of two worlds that created contemporary Australia. Told from the perspective of Australia's first people, it vividly brings to life the events that unfolded when the oldest living culture in the world was overrun by the world's greatest empire.

Seven of Australia's leading historians reveal the true stories of individuals, both black and white, caught in an epic drama of friendship, revenge, loss and victory in Australia's most transformative period of history.

Their story begins in 1788 in Warrane, now known as Sydney, with the friendship between an Englishman, Governor Phillip, and the kidnapped warrior Bennelong. It ends in 1993 with Koiki Mabo's legal challenge to the foundation of Australia.

Contributors include Wayne Atkinson, James Boyce, R G Kimber, Steve Kinnane, Noel Loos and Bruce Pascoe.
