Freedom on the Fatal Shore: Australia's First Colony

John Hirst, "Freedom on the Fatal Shore: Australia's First Colony"
2008 | ISBN-10: 1863952071 | 496 pages | EPUB | 1 MB

FREEDOM ON THE FATAL SHORE brings together John Hirst's two books on the early history of New South Wales. Both are classic accounts which have had a profound effect on the understanding of our history. This combined edition includes a new foreword by the author. Convicts with their own time , convicts with legal rights, convicts making money, convicts getting drunk: what sort of prison was this? Hirst describes how the convict colony actually worked and how Australian democracy came into being, despite the opposition of the most powerful. He writes: 'This was not a society that had to become free; its freedoms were well established from the earliest times.'
