Blood on the Wattle was published in 1988 to considerable acclaim and is now in it’s third edition. Bruce has said his book was an attempt to draw together in one volume information about the massacres of Aboriginal people and to create a broad-based level of awareness of their scale so that it can become part of the Australian consciousness. They should be as much part of Australian history as the First Fleet, the explorers, the gold rushes and the bushrangers. Many people have requested more details about the upcoming referendum for constitutional recognition and a Voice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait people. Blood on the Wattle provides a context for that generous request. Blood on the Wattle was listed as one of the ten most influential Australian works of non-fiction in the twentieth century in an extensive poll conducted by The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.
