Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Front cover right corners, now protected with book tape. Interior and binding are excellent. Large format paperback.

In 1854, Victorian miners fought a deadly battle under the flag of the Southern Cross at the Eureka Stockade. Though brief and doomed to fail, the battle is a legend in our history and the Australian mind.

Henry Lawson wrote poems about it, its symbolic flag is still raised, and even the nineteenth-century visitor Mark Twain called it- "a strike for liberty".

Was this rebellion a fledgling nation's first attempt to assert independence under colonial rule? Or was it merely rabble-rousing by unruly miners determined not to pay their taxes?

In his inimitable style, Peter FitzSimons gets into the hearts and minds of those on the battlefield, and those behind the scenes, bringing to life Australian legends on both sides of the rebellion. (Backcover)
