A Different Country is a landmark collection drawn from the journalism of The Australian, bringing together the masthead’s most significant reporting and commentary on the seismic impact of the October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks on Israel.

Across two turbulent years, The Australian’s correspondents and columnists documented a story that reshaped geopolitics, tested democratic values, and exposed deep fractures in social cohesion. This volume brings those pieces together for the first time, also featuring work by Jonathan Spyer, Gemma Tognini, Henry Ergas, Michael Gawenda, Bari Weiss, Greg Craven, Geoffrey Blainey, Deborah Conway and others.

A Different Country offers a powerful narrative of a world in upheaval and a nation confronting questions about security, morality and whom we aspire to be.
