Happy Friday Traces fans! Welcome to this week’s Friday Book Giveaway! This week’s spotlight book is Ned Kelly – A Lawless Life by Doug Morrissey. Doug Morrissey has something new to say on Kelly and his world. Ned Kelly was very ready with excuses and justifications for his actions. His admiring biographers endorse them. In this book, Doug subjects them to close scrutiny. They all fall over and a different Ned emerges - a man who had embraced a lawless life. Doug Morrissey is an expert on life in Kelly country. His previous writings have annoyed the admirers of Australia's most famous bushranger. This book will cause heated debate. It includes a criticism of the best-known Kelly books and a line by line annotation of the errors and misrepresentations in Ned's own Jerilderie Letter. To enter: Like this post, tag a friend and tell us in the comments section: Who is your favourite Australian in history? Entries close 23 March, 5pm AEST. Australian entrants only. Winners will be announced on Wednesday 25 March. https://www.facebook.com/TracesMag/photos/a.262237540469159/4268525913173615/ |
