How They Fought. Indigenous Tactics and Weaponry of Australia's Frontier Wars.
- Authors

- Abstract
Historian Ray Kerkhove's book, "How They Fought," explores the Indigenous tactics and weaponry used during Australia's Frontier Wars against colonial forces. The book aims to demonstrate the reality of armed Indigenous resistance and move away from portraying First Nations as solely victims. It examines the military organization, coordination of operations, tactics, and impact of Western influence on Indigenous societies. While the book is well-researched and informative, some assertions made by the author may require further investigation. Overall, the book provides valuable insights into Indigenous military strategy and challenges existing narratives.
