	The Fatal Shore book Author Robert Hughes -  Paperback - 688 pages - Non-Fiction    Printed in Australia In 1787, the twenty-eighth year of the reign of King George III, the British Government sent a fleet to colonize Australia .... An epic description of the brutal transportation of men, women and children out of Georgian Britain into a horrific penal system which was to be the precursor to the Gulag and was the origin of Australia. 'The Fatal Shore' is the prize winning, scholarly, brilliantly entertaining narrative that has given Australia its true history. 'A unique phatasmagoria of crime and punishment, which combines the shadowy terrors of Goya with the tumescent life of Dickens'   Peter Ackroyd, The Times 'Huges has a story to tell as vivid, large-scale, and appalling as anything by Dickens or Solzhenitsyn, but one that's virtually unknown - until the writing of this splendid book. The Fatal Shore is a great achievement.'  Susan Sontag 'A triumph of research, passion and fine writing. I found it an extraordinary and compelling book to read, one of fantastic scope and imagination; truly a tour de force.'  William Shawcross 'Popular history in the best sense... its attention to human detail and its commanding prose call to mind the best work of Barbara Tuchman.'  Washington Post Click on the "Detail" button near the price for more information.
