'A brilliant light shone into a dark forgetfulness: ground-breaking, authoritative, compelling.' --KATE GRENVILLE 'Forgotten War is a work of passion by one of Australia's greatest living historians, a scholar who has helped to redefine the relationships between white and black Australians ... His measured prose and scholarly authority should be heeded.' --PETER STANLEY, Sydney Morning Herald Winner of the 2014 Victorian Premier's Award for non-fiction

Author Information

Henry Reynolds is one of Australia's best-known historians. He grew up in Hobart and was educated at Hobart High School and the University of Tasmania. In 1965, he accepted a lectureship at the University College of Townsville (now James Cook University), which sparked an interest in the history of relations between settlers and Aboriginal people. In 2000, he took up a professorial fellowship at the University of Tasmania. His pioneering work has changed the way we see the intertwining of black and white history in Australia. His books with NewSouth include The Other Side of the Frontier (reissue); What's Wrong with Anzac? (as co-author); Forgotten War, which won the Victorian Premier's Award for Non-Fiction; Unnecessary Wars; This Whispering in Our Hearts Revisited; Truth-Telling: History, Sovereignty and the Uluru Statement; and, most recently, Tongerlongeter: First Nations Leader & Tasmanian War Hero (as co-author).
