The Naked Country
By Michael East
Published by Heinemann: London, Melbourne etc 1960 1st Edition

" The Naked Country, published in 1960 under the pseudonym Michael East, is a gripping adventure novel by Australian author Morris West. Set in the remote Northern Territory, the story follows cattleman Lance Dillon, whose prized Brahma bull is ritually slaughtered by Aboriginal people defending sacred land. When Dillon is attacked and wounded, his wife Mary and a local policeman embark on a perilous search through the unforgiving outback, confronting both natural dangers and cultural tensions.

Beyond its suspenseful plot, the novel delves into themes of colonialism, land rights, and the clash between European settlers and Indigenous Australians. West's portrayal of the outback is both vivid and haunting, reflecting the complexities of Australia's frontier history. The book's exploration of these issues was ahead of its time, offering a nuanced perspective on the cultural and moral dilemmas faced by its characters. "
