Ned Kelly: A Short Life

Ned Kelley the man - warts and all - the most vivid portrait yet of Australia's immortal outlaw. Author, Ian Jones, acknowledged Kelly authority, shares with us the results of a lifetime's research. For the first time, Ned Kelly truly emerges as a man - a man who hated conflict yet never escaped it. A private man incapable of being ordinary and unnoticed. A man who was seen, even in his own lifetime, as what he represented rather than what he was, and whose enemies - even more than his allies - helped make him a legend.
