Pemulwuy: The Battle For Sydney

This is the story of an extraordinary man, Pemulwuy, the warrior leader of the Eora people and of the bloody ’Battle of Sydney’ which raged from 1788 until 1802. Pemulwuy used his life as a weapon to fight an impossible war with a savage enemy from the other side of the world. His enemies sought both to destroy him and his people and to obliterate all evidence of his very existence. Eric Willmot, a prominent member of the Australian Aboriginal community, reveals the dark story of those early years of conflict and of Pemulwuy, who became the first Australian patriot.
