520 1  'In 1993, Manning Clark came under severe (posthumous) 
       attack in the pages of Quadrant by none other than Peter 
       Ryan, who had published five of the six volumes of Clark's
       epic A History of Australia. In applying what he called 
       "an overdue axe to a tall poppy", Ryan lambasted the 
       History as "an imposition on Australian credulity" and 
       declared its author a fraud, both as a historian and a 
       person. This unprecedented public assault by a publisher 
       on his best-selling author was a sensation at the time and
       remains lodged in the public memory. In History Wars, Doug
       Munro forensically examines the right and wrongs of Ryan's
       allegations, concluding that Clark was more sinned against
       than sinning and that Ryan repeatedly misrepresented the 
       situation. More than just telling a story, Munro places 
       the Ryan-Clark controversy within the context of 
       Australia's History Wars. This book is an illuminating 
       saga of that ongoing contest.' - James Curran, University 
       of Sydney    'The Ryan-Clark controversy ... speaks to the
       place of Manning Clark in Australia's national 
       imagination. Had Ryan taken his axe to another historian, 
       it's unlikely that we would be still talking about it 30 
       years later. But Clark was the author and keeper of 
       Australia's national story, however imperfect his 
       scholarship and however blinkered that story. Few, if any,
       historians in the Anglo-American world have occupied the 
       space that Clark occupied by dint of will, force of 
       personality, and felicity of pen.' - Donald Wright, 
       University of New Brunswick
