Into the Woods – The Battle for Tasmania's Forests | Anna Krien | 2010 [USED – SC]

Anna Krien's first book — published by Black Inc in 2010 and winner of the 2011 Queensland Premier's Literary Award for Australian history. Krien, armed with a notebook, a sleeping bag and a rusty sedan, spent time embedded on both sides of the Tasmanian forest conflict — with the loggers, the protesters and the communities caught between them.

The result is a piece of narrative non-fiction that refuses to simplify a genuinely complex dispute, giving human weight to people on all sides of a fight over old-growth forests, livelihoods, identity and the future of an island. The Tasmanian forest wars were one of the most sustained environmental and industrial conflicts in Australian history — involving Gunns Ltd, protest blockades, the Wilderness Society, the unions, state and federal governments, and communities whose entire economic identity was built around the timber industry.

Krien goes into that conflict rather than writing about it from outside.
