First Australians: An Illustrated History
Author(s): Rachel Perkins
THE COMPANION BOOK TO THE AWARD-WINNING TELEVISION SERIES 'First Australians' is the dramatic story of the collision of two worlds that created contemporary Australia. Told from the perspective of Australia's first people, it vividly brings to life the events that unfolded when the oldest living culture in the world was overrun by the world's greatest empire. Seven of Australia's leading historians reveal the true stories of individuals-both black and white-caught in an epic drama of friendship, revenge, loss and victory in Australia's most transformative period of history.
