'Triumph of the Nomads' is Geoffrey Blainey's thirteenth book and is a startling reassessment of the Aborigines in early Australia. Rather than being prisoners in a hostile continent, the Aborigines were a successful race - triumphant in their discovery of the land, triumphant in their adaptation to it, and in their mastery of its contrasting climates, seasons and resources.
Co-winner of the Barbara Ramsden Aware for Literature in 1976, 'Triumph of the Nomads' presents a case for the Aborigines that the traditionally minded will find startling.
