Acclaimed historian Henry Reynolds turns Australian history on its axis in a ground-breaking exploration of how colonisation north of the Tropic of Capricorn was very different to the southern states.

Influential historian Henry Reynolds returns with this new edition of Forgotten War, which questions the conspicuous absence of the frontier wars from our official military history and public memory.

An epic story of resistance, suffering and survival. Tongerlongeter resurrects a once-in-a-generation leader all Australians can admire.

'Australian governments find it easy to go to war. Their leaders seem to be able to withdraw with a calm conscience, answerable neither to God nor humanity.'

'How is it our minds are not satisfied? What means this whispering in the bottom of our hearts?'
