'JUST WHEN YOU thought it was safe to go back in the water, there he is again! Rarely sighted since the History Wars petered out five or six years ago, Keith Windschuttle is back on the rampage. In his second book (labelled, confusingly, volume three) about the “fabrication of Aboriginal history” he addresses the 120-year history of the “stolen generations” from 1881 to the present day. The book comprises a contrarian construction of the events in question, a scathing critique of accounts provided by others, and a passionate argument about what each of these reveals about our national character.'
