Sydney Writers' Festival x SLNSW Livestream - The Australian Wars

This is the first book to tell the story of the continental sweep of massacres, guerilla warfare and resistance – the sovereignty of an entire country at stake. The Australian Wars is a new book conceived by filmmaker Rachel Perkins following her award-winning documentary. This book uncovers the true history of a nation steeped in bloody battles that have reverberated from the past to the present. Join contributors Rhonda Dixon-Grovenor, Stephen Gapps, David Marr and Rachel Perkins for the launch of The Australian Wars and a rousing call to truth-telling on a national scale.

This event is presented by Sydney Writers' Festival in partnership with the State Library of NSW. It will be screened at Queanbeyan Library.
