Join us in store for a special conversation hour with author of Killing for Country David Marr and Dubbo elder Frank Doolan and special guest Stephen Lawrence.

A gripping reckoning with the bloody history of Australia's frontier wars

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.
