Synopsis

Title: Storm Over Uluru (the Greatest Hoax Of All)
Author/Publisher: Peter B English, Veritas Pub. Co
Publication Year: 1986
Format: Illustrated Paperback

Published in 1986, Peter B English's 'Storm Over Uluru (the Greatest Hoax Of All)' offers a highly particular perspective on a pivotal moment in Australian history. This significant non-fiction work delves into the contentious events surrounding the transfer of Uluru (Ayers Rock) back to its Traditional Owners.

The book, explicitly subtitled 'Resume Of Events Leading Up To The Questionable Hand-over Of Australia's Most Famous National Park To Aboriginal Claimants', positions itself as an undoubtedly provocative historical account. It provides a detailed chronicle from a specific viewpoint, contributing to the broader discourse on Australian Indigenous land rights and national identity.

• Historical Documentation: As a non-fiction account falling under 'Australian History' and 'Politics & Society', the book provides a resume of events, aiming to chart the sequence of occurrences that led to the Uluru land claim settlement.
• Visual Context: The narrative is enhanced by illustrations, offering readers visual documentation that complements the historical and political discussion within the text.

This first edition, published just two years after the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park was formally handed back to the Anangu people, serves as a vital, albeit contentious, historical document. It is a compelling acquisition for collectors interested in the complex and often debated history of Indigenous land rights in Australia, and the political and social commentary surrounding such milestones.
