“Red Over Black is the chilling and almost unbelievable story of the Marxist manipulation of the Aboriginal “land rights” movement, told by a man who learned of Communist strategy while in the Communist Party.
Ever since leaving school at 14 years of age, Geoff McDonald has been involved in industrial and political affairs.  While painting Aboriginal murals on the secret Communist training school at Minto, New South Wales, he first heard of the long-range Communist strategy for the establishment of an Aboriginal republic under Communist control.
While representing the Royal Australian Nursing Federation as an Industrial Officer in the early seventies, Geoff McDonald made a number of visits to Aboriginal reserves in Central and Northern Australia and saw Marxist operators and their dupes hard at work advancing Communist strategy.
Geoff McDonald has a deep respect for the genuine Aboriginal people, whom he sees as being treated as black cannon fodder by the Marxist revolutionaries.  He writes with great feeling about Australian nurses and is loud in his praise of their dedicated service to the Aborigines.
A man of independent character, Geoff McDonald was expelled from the Communist Party for daring to criticise.  In an often stormy and tumultuous career he has successfully represented Deep Sea Divers, Mannequins and Models together with various unions representing tradesmen and unskilled workers.
Over the past fifteen years, Geoff McDonald has been freelance industrial advocate who combines a public and industrial relations service to trade unions and professional organisations.
Red Over Black makes a unique contribution to the national controversy concerning Aboriginal “land rights”.”
