Summary
David Marr was shocked to discover forebears who served with the Native Police during the bloodiest years on the frontier. Killing for Country is the result -- a soul-searching Australian history. This is a 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
