Summary:	Grog War is the epic saga of an Indigenous human rights crusade and a war waged against the effects of alcohol abuse. Award-winning author, Alexis Wright paints an honest picture of the battles fought in an outback town when Aboriginal Elders refuse to accept the insidious intrusion of grog on their Homelands. In a strategic campaign they shifted the debate from public drunkenness to how grog was marketed and distributed, and challenged townspeople and government bureau crats to share responsibility. This battle is raging throughout all communities across Australia. It is a controversial and highly emotional conversation. Should the sale of alcohol be controlled, and whose decision is it to make? With many regional towns, outstations and remote communities now debating the implementation of alcohol restrictions, this campaign stands out as one of Australia's most powerful contemporary models of Indigenous self-determination.
