David Marr in conversation with The Australia Institute's, Ebony Bennett

Join David Marr for the January 2024 episode of Australia’s Biggest Book Club, presented by the Australia Institute.

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.
