Summary Note: "David Marr was shocked to discover his forebears served with the Native Police, the most brutal force in Australian history. '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." - Back cover.
