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 and the profound aftershocks felt across Australia and the world.

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, and also features work by Jonathan Spyer, Gemma Tognini, Henry Ergas, Michael Gawenda, Bari Weiss, Greg Craven, Geoffrey Blainey, Deborah Conway and others.

The Australian's reporting captures the surge in anti-Semitism witnessed globally, the challenge of maintaining journalistic clarity amid disinformation, and the struggle of communities grappling with grief, identity and belonging. The writers chart the political debates, the ideological battles on campuses, the impact on Australia's communities, and the broader reckoning with extremism in an age of instant media.

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. Clear-eyed, deeply reported and profoundly moving, it stands as a vital record of how the world responded.
