Manne, who called the book ‘ one of the most implausible, ignorant and pitiless books about Australian history written for many years ’, himself summed up the case against Windschuttle, noting that Windschuttle's evidence for Aboriginal deaths is derived from a scholar, Plomley, who denied that any estimate for them could be made from the documentary record ; that a scrupulous conservative scholar, H. A. Willis, using exactly the same sources as Windschuttle, came up with a figure of 188 violent deaths, and another 145 rumoured deaths ; that Windschuttle's method excludes deaths of aborigines who were wounded, and later died ; that all surviving Aborigines transported by Robinson to Flinders ' Island bore marks of violence and gunshot wounds ' perpetrated on them by depraved whites '; that Windschuttle cannot deny that between 1803 and 1834 almost all Tasmanian Aborigines died, and the only evidence for disease as a factor before 1829 rests on a single conversation recorded by James Bonwick, and that Aboriginal women who lived with sealers did not, however, die off from contact with bearers of foreign disease ; that Windschuttle likened Aboriginal attacks on British settlers to ‘ modern-day junkies raiding service stations for money ’, whereas both colonial records and modern historians speak of them as highly ' patriotic ', attached to their lands, and engaged in a veritable war to defend it from settlement ; that by Windschuttle's own figures, the violent death rate of Aborigines in Tasmania in the 1820s must have been 360 times the murder rate in contemporary New York ; that Windschuttle shows scarce familiarity with period books, citing only 3 of the 30 books published on Van Diemen's land for the period 1803-1834, and with one of them confuses the date of the first visit by the French with the publication date of the volume that recounted their expedition ; that it is nonsensical to argue that a people who had wandered over an island and survived for 34, 000 years had no attachment to their land ; that Windschuttle finds no native words in 19th century wordlists for ' land ' to attest to such an attachment, when modern wordlists show 23 entries under ' country '.
