Description

Australia's colourful and violent convict past is vividly recreated in this engrossing book. The colonial prison settlements were some of the most brutal places in the world. Tucker's depiction of the darker side of Australia's history raises many questions about crime and punishment, and use and abuse of power. Ages 13+.
