Reviews for The Other Side of the Frontier. Aboriginal Resistance to the European Invasion of Australia.
"'Reynolds has painted an exciting and compelling picture of resistance seen from the Aboriginal side... in most cases Aborigines fought heroically against overwhelming odds and superior weapons to resist usurpation of their lands, their rights and their livelihood.' - Age Monthly Review"
