[Tony · Rating 3 out of 5]

The writing quality is pretty sub-par (so many adjectives) and the motivations of the rebels could have been fleshed out more with a deeper look at the Irish English war. However, still a pretty good summary of one of the less talked and most ridiculous events of early Australian colonial history

[William Jones · Rating 4 out of 5]

(He had to read this one for an assignment but wanted it to be included) A great read for anyone wanting to learn more about this often neglected piece of Australian history. It tells the tale in a very easy to read and enjoyable way, focusing on the Irish aspects of it all.

Always nice to read a reference book with an ancestor in it ;-)
