David Marr was shocked to discover forebears who served with the brutal Native Police in the bloodiest years on the frontier. Killing for country is the result – a soul-searching Australian history.

This is a richly detailed saga of politics and power in the colonial world – of land seized, fortunes made and lost, and the violence let loose as squatters and their allies fought for possession of the country – a war still unresolved in today's Australia.
