The Art of Time Travel
No matter how practised we are at history, it always humbles us. No matter how often we visit the past, it always surprises us.

The Griffith Wars
The story behind the murder that shocked a nation. The assassination of Donald Mackay was meant to solve a problem for the mafia.

Drawing on the personal diaries and memories of Terry Jones - who, as the editor of the local newspaper, knew everyone and heard everything - The Griffith Wars reveals startling new evidence about one of Australia's most notorious unsolved murders. It also powerfully recounts the struggle for the soul of a country town still battling to shake off its criminal past.

This timely biography is a copiously illustrated account and analysis of Griffith Taylors remarkable life. It explores what drove this long, lean, lanky man to such extremes: geographically, intellectually and politically.
