One of the country’s most respected investigative reporters, David Marr discovers that his forebears were members of the Native Police and involved in atrocities during Australia’s Frontier War.
Killing for Country: A Family Story is “a soul-searching . . . gripping family saga of fortunes made and lost, of politics and power in the colonial world, and the violence let loose by squatters.”
David will be in conversation with author and journalist Marian Wilkinson, one of Bookoccino’s favourite interviewers.
