Description
The Vandemonian War
The Vandemonian War had many sides and shades, but it was fundamentally a war between the British colony of Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania) and those Tribespeople who lived in political and social contradiction to that colony. In The Vandemonian War, acclaimed history author Nick Brodie now exposes the largely untold story of how the British truly occupied Van Diemen’s Land, deploying regimental soldiers and special forces, armed convicts and mercenaries. Historians failed to see through the myths and lies – until now.
The Vandemonian War was one of the darkest stains on a former empire which arrogantly claimed perpetual sunshine. The Vandemonian War is the story of that fight, redrawn from neglected handwriting nearly two centuries old.
