Little more than seventy years after the British settled Van Diemen's Land (later Tasmania) in 1803, its indigenous population had been virtually wiped out. Yet this genocide one of the earliest of the modern era is virtually forgotten in Britain today. This book specifically explores the role of the British government and wider society in the destruction of the Aboriginal Tasmanians..
