Description
The publication of The Other Side of the Frontier in 1981 profoundly changed the way in which we understand the history of relations between indigenous Australians and European settlers. It has since become a classic of Australian history.
Drawing from documentary and oral evidence, the book describes in meticulous and compelling detail the ways in which Aborigines responded to the arrival of Europeans. Henry Reynolds' argument that the Aborigines resisted fiercely was highly original when it was first published and is no less challenging today.

The Other Side of the Frontier by Henry Reynolds is praised for providing an insightful and compelling portrayal of Aboriginal resistance during colonisation. The book is recognised for highlighting the heroic efforts of Aboriginal people as they opposed the overwhelming forces and superior weaponry of the European settlers in defence of their land and rights.
