"The History of Tasmania, Volume II" by John West is a historical exploration into 19th-century Tasmania, mainly concentrating on the unfortunate clash between European settlers and the Aboriginal people. West reviews early meetings between settlers and Aboriginals, from the perspectives of explorers, and then highlights the change where tension rose, resulting in violent encounters and distrust. This creates a sad story about the harmful impacts of colonization and the cultural devastation experienced by the Indigenous population.
