Abstract

The text is a collection of book reviews from the Journal of the Royal Australian Historical Society. The first review discusses errors and inaccuracies in a book called "Killing for Country" by David Marr, which explores the history of the Native Police in Australia. The reviewer suggests that a second edition should correct these errors to enhance the analysis. The second review is of a book called "Spies and Sparrows" by Phillip Deery, which focuses on ASIO and the Cold War. The reviewer mentions the iconic image of Mrs. Petrov being dragged onto a plane during the Petrov Affair and discusses the significance of the book. [Extracted from the article]
