Reviews

'Fascinating ... The Squatters is informative, highly readable and free from the tedious authorial posturing found in some Australian popular histories. Reading this book led me to wonder if the Australian obsession with real estate perhaps had its origins in the squatters' insatiable lust for land.' - Sydney Morning Herald
