Abstract

Kate Auty's I O'Leary of the Underworld i expands historical work begun by Neville Green's I The Forrest River Massacres i (1995), but through the eagle eyes of legal analysis, a perspective for which Auty is well-known. Auty's aim is to profile the dishonesty and murderous actions of Bernard O'Leary, one of the main perpetrators of the Forrest River massacres in the Kimberley region. In the rest of the book, Auty justifies this assertion with numerous examples, interjected by the "secret voice" of Bernard's inner thoughts. [Extracted from the article]
