The truth about the bloody battles fought to establish a nation. For the first time, The Australian Wars brings the historical past into connection with its reverberations in the p resent. It is estimated up to 100,000 people died in the Frontier Wars that raged across Australia for more than 150 years. This is equivalent to the combined total of all Australians killed in foreign battles to date but there are few memorials marking these first, domestic wars. "The Australian Wars is a compelling call to truth-telling and national reckoning. It exposes the historical amnesia surrounding Australia's foundation... This is more than a chronicle of the past - it is a challenge to reshape national memory, honour Indigenous resistance as patriotic and to build a future rooted in justice and shared truth." The Hon.
