About this product

Product Information

The siege of Glenrowan is more than just an Australian legend. The 41 hours when the Kelly Gang took over Ann Jones' Glenrowan Inn and held the police at bay have become a part of the Australian psyche. Most people know the bare bones of the story, but few know the names and actions of some of those who literally made history over those two days. In this impeccably researched work and vivid retelling, Ian Shaw brings the characters to life through their own words and the observations of those who were there. The real heroes - and the real villains - take centre stage, just as they did at Glenrowan in June 1880. There's the soulful Joe Byrne who toasts the success of the gang one moment and bleeds to death on the hotel floor the next. And the two younger outlaws, Dan Kelly and Steve Hart, who were well and truly out of their depth, seeing no way out at the end, preferring to die rather than surrender. Above it all sits the enigmatic figure of Ned Kelly - vainglorious, cunning and brave - a figure who made too many mistakes in too short a time for his gang to survive.

    Item arrived was well packaged and arrived quickly via the post. However there was a discrepancy with the item. Seller was communicated with and very responsive to the nature of the enquiry. As a result seller was very understanding in the matter and a full refund was offered and accepted. Seller has a very professional attitude and l would recommend them in further dealings to do business with.

  • Great book to read

    I am Ned Kelly mad and have read many books about Ned, his family and the gang. This book is very well written. Great detail. Really feels like you are there with the people at Glenrowan. It’s the story about the siege in June 1880. The hostages, the police, the gang and how it all unfolded. Well worth reading.
