The Commonwealth of Thieves: The Story of the Founding of Australia by Tom Keneally

4.0

An excellent well written book covering a truly extraordinary social experiment. Keneally describes the characters and events in such an engaging way. The fragile yet seemingly inexorable establishment of a new nation is skilfully covered, alongside the horrors and shortcomings of the parent country who created it. Engrossing!
