The Black Diggers explores the war effort of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders during the Second World War and why their contribution has been unrecognised for so long.

For the very first time, here is a comprehensive account of the work of black Australians during the years when their country faced that Japanese threat. Despite suspicion and prejudice, they earned a place within the digger legend. (back cover)
