We, the Earth Soldiers, who burned down WUM’s headquarters, have a short message to deliver to all the environmentalists who support non-violent action: You have ten years. After that it will be our turn to act. 

Ten years later. A small team of five people, including a woman named Rachael Foreman, were sent by a mining company to investigate a particular area within the Drysdale National Park in the Kimberley region of Australia. But after an attack by the Earth Soldiers, all of them went missing, presumed dead. Rachael’s husband Andrew wasn’t content with that explanation, and went looking for his wife – only to find a USB stick with what appeared to be her memoirs. These are suspected to be a forgery, and for legal reasons must be kept secret, but Andrew and Rachael’s parents are persuaded to let Edward Bramfeld read the memoirs and tell the story as the fictional tale of a character named Helen. This book is the result.

IN THE NAME OF THE KIMBERLEY is the story of a dedicated environmentalist trying to find a path in the world and a way to save as much of her beloved wilderness as possible. First, she became an eco-terrorist, then she ended up supporting a mining project in the Kimberley. The complicated and inconvenient truth about her life is all here, in her memoirs.
