Reviews for Blood on the Wattle: Massacres and Maltreatment of Aboriginal Australians Since 1788

""I was given [Blood on the Wattle] by a cousin of mine who works for Aboriginal Affairs and I was in a daze. I mean, I was just reading page after page after page of massacres and really the only thing that I knew of my Aboriginality was that I belonged to the Wiradjuri tribe. Then I came to a page where most of the Wiradjuri tribe were wiped out..."" --Evonne Cawley, The Midday Show, 18 May 1992
