A gripping reckoning with the bloody history of Australia's frontier wars, from bestselling author David Marr.

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.

'Killing for Country … shines a light into the dark shameful corners of our collective national experience. What we will find when we look and listen won't be pretty, but it is necessary to confront – not to be captives of history, but to learn from it and transcend it.'
The Conversation

'Killing for Country ... stands out for its unflinching eye, its dogged research, and the quality and power of its writing.'
The Australian Book Review

'Killing For Country is a timely exercise in truth-telling amid a disturbing resurgence of denialism.'
