A compelling & beautifully written memoir about dark & shameful family secrets, & one young Scottish woman`s pilgrimage to Australia to attempt to lay the past to rest. In 1837 Angus Mc Millan left the Scottish Highlands for the other side of the world. Cutting paths through the alien harshness of the Australian frontier, Mc Millan became a pioneer to be forever mythologised in the statues & landmarks that bore his name. He was also Cal Flyn`s great-great-great-uncle. Inspired by this glimmer of an ancestral greatness, Flyn followed in his footsteps to Australia, where her investigations forced her to confront dark & horrifying family secrets. She discovered that Mc Millan & his peers were responsible for a series of assaults on indigenous peoples so ferocious that the sites would ever after be synonymous with bloodshed: Skull Creek, Boney Point, Slaughterhouse Gully. Mc Millan too had a new name: the Butcher of Gippsl&. Driven to piece together his story & confront her own history, Flyn looks for answers: How could a man lauded for his generosity & integrity commit such terrible acts? How could a man who had witnessed the horror of Highlanders cleared from their lands then massacre & `clear` indigenous people on the other side of the world? How can whole societies come to be overlooked & forgotten? Should today`s generation atone for their ancestors` sins? Blending memoir, history & travel, ` Thicker Than Water` evokes the startlingly beautiful wilderness of the Highlands, the desolate bush of Victoria & the reverberations on one from the other. A tale of blood & bloodlines, it is a powerful, personal journey into dark family history, intergenerational grief & the inherited guilt that we all carry with us. ...

Cal Flyn was very proud when she discovered that her ancestor, Angus Mc Millan, had been a pioneer of colonial Australia. However, when she dug deeper, she began to question her pride. Mc Millan had not only cut tracks through the bush, but played a dark role in Australia`s bloody history. Angus Mc Millan had left the stark, windswept landscape of the Highlands in the 1830s blighted by the Clearances for the alien harshness of the Australian frontier & had since been mythologised as a great explorer. This tug of personal history & a glimmer of an ancestor`s greatness convinced Cal Flyn to investigate her great-great-great uncle`s story fully. So when she uncovered the tough Highlander`s involvement leading several horrific massacres of Aboriginal people, she realised that her family had played an iconic role in a most shameful chapter of Australia`s bloody history. Indeed, Angus Mc Millan was known by another name: ` The Butcher of Gippsland`. Driven to piece together his story & to confront her history, Cal decided to follow Angus`s route from Skye to rural Australia.` Thicker Than Water` evokes the startlingly beautiful wilderness of the Highlands, the seemingly empty bush of Victoria & the echoes & reverberations on one from the other. The expulsion & brutality that marked the Highland Clearances were re-enacted in Australia, & Flyn`s stunning prose prompts contemplation on the nature of the destruction of ways of life & the way in which one culture lays claim & asserts its weight over another. Delving into a dark period in Australian history with a novel`s immediate style, this book asks how whole societies can come to be overlooked, forgotten & shamed. ...

The world is blowing up. Every day a new blaze seems to ignite: the bloody implosion of Iraq & Syria; the East-West standoff in Ukraine; abducted schoolgirls in northern Nigeria. Is there some thread tying these frightening international security crises together? In a riveting account that weaves history with fast-moving reportage & insider accounts from the Afghanistan war, Sarah Chayes identifies the unexpected link: corruption. Since the late 1990s, corruption has reached such an extent that some governments resemble glorified criminal gangs, bent solely on their own enrichment. These kleptocrats drive indignant populations to extremes-ranging from revolution to militant puritanical religion. Chayes plunges readers into some of the most venal environments on earth & examines what emerges: Afghans returning to the Taliban, Egyptians overthrowing the Mubarak government (but also redesigning Al-Qaeda), & Nigerians embracing both radical evangelical Christianity & the Islamist terror group Boko Haram. In many such places, rigid moral codes are put forth as an antidote to the collapse of public integrity. The pattern, moreover, pervades history. Through deep archival research, Chayes reveals that canonical political thinkers such as John Locke & Machiavelli, as well as the great medieval Islamic statesman Nizam al-Mulk, all named corruption as a threat to the realm. In a thrilling argument connecting the Protestant Reformation to the Arab Spring, Thieves of State presents a powerful new way to understand global extremism. & it makes a compelling case that we must confront corruption, for it is a cause-not a result-of global instability. ...
