The Embarrassing Australian: The Story of an Aboriginal Warrior
Gordon, Harry -- Editor
Lansdowne Press Melbourne 1962 First Edition
Octavo- over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Green Cloth 425 g; 172 pages, illustrated with black-and-white photographs, photographic illustrated dust wrapper. The dust wrapper has rubbing and creasing of the top edge, and has a 5.0 inch tear at the top left of the front panel which the previous owner has repaired with sticky tape. Previous owner's name on front end page. Reg Saunders story is significant, if for no other reason than that it demonstrates these points: 1. Then there is no emotional, intellectual gap between representatives of civilised mankind and representatives of an allegedly primitive race. 2. That, despite the pious suggestions of various governments that equality exists between whites and aboriginals, society is simply not ready to grant a rightful place to a native of intelligence, ability and imagination. 3. Though the lack of opportunity not of brainpower, is the reason why most aboriginals are able to take only the most humblest manual work. Roy Saunders was the only member of The Australian Aboriginal Race to ever have been commissioned as an officer in the Armed Forces. Men who served under him their used to call in the best officer in the world. Militaria -- Australia Very Good
