Henry Reynolds is one of Australia's most recognised historians. 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 Literary Prize; Unnecessary Wars; and most recently The Whispering in Our Hearts Revisited.

Nicholas Clements is an eighth generation Tasmanian who has spent most of his life in the Tamar Valley. In addition to being a family man and a keen rock climber, he is a part-time teacher of history, philosophy and psychology. He is also an adjunct researcher at the University of Tasmania, where he completed his PhD on the island’s Aboriginal and early contact histories. His 2014 book, The Black War: Fear, Sex and Resistance in Tasmania, explored the motivations and experiences of both Aborigines and colonists during that conflict.
