Ray Kerkhove
The history of Australia’s Frontier Wars is becoming a hot topic for debate and research. It is now part of our national educational syllabus. However, there are very few books available which explain, in detail, the modes of warfare First Australians applied during the Frontier Wars. How They Fought is written as an introductory guidebook. It is broken into chapters covering organisation, strategies, weaponry, and defences. The book considers both traditional practices and technological and tactical adaptations. To make this complex topic more accessible, How They Fought includes numerous tables, figures and diagrams that illustrate and summarize the contents.

Dan Kelly (store manager) –
This is a substantive work of historical research that rewrites the history of Australia’s Frontier Wars. First Nations people were in no way passive in their quest to retain protection of their country. They did not rollover to the eventual superiority of the European weapons, but fought back using strategy and tactics that had been used in warfare for thousands of years. This is a must read for all Australians.

Patrick Collins (store manager) –
How They Fought reflects the high quality of research and interpretation that is present in
Ray Kerkhove’s established works. There is no doubt that its unique depth will result in it
becoming a seminal work.

An important and much needed study — the first of its kind and hopefully not the last.
