Broken Spear - Black Tom Birch, the Aboriginal Patriot Blamed for Sparking Australia's Bloodiest War | Robert Cox | 2021 [NEW – SC]

The true story of Black Tom Birch of Van Diemen's Land - a charismatic Aboriginal patriot and his unending fight against colonial invasion. Although he was three times in British custody, Black Tom Birch was never tried or punished. Commonly told history has held that he defected and spent the rest of his life helping the British round up his own people for incarceration on a Bass Strait island. However in Broken Spear, Robert Cox shows how that history is wrong, and sets out to tell the real story.
