About this listen
David Dufty goes back to the records to uncover the real story of the police officers who pursued the Kelly Gang. This pacey account of the capture of the Kelly Gang grips like a detective story.
He lurched through the gun smoke, his head encased in an iron helmet, and started shooting. To the weary police in the cordon around the Glenrowan hotel, he appeared like a monster, or a creature from hell.
For over a century, the Ned Kelly legend has grown and grown. He's become Australia's Robin Hood, and leader of a colonial Irish resistance. How much of the legend is true?
This is the real story of the hunt for the Kelly Gang over two long years. As gripping as any police procedural, it is an account of poorly trained officers unfamiliar with the terrain, in pursuit of the most dangerous men in the state.
By recounting the story from the perspective of the law, David Dufty gets to the heart of the story and finds answers to many unresolved questions. Why was the gang always one step ahead of the police? Did law-abiding citizens really assist the outlaws? Did the barely literate Ned really write the impassioned Jerilderie Letter? Did the police really persecute the Kelly family?

The best and most persuasive anti Kelly book yet.
The best and most persuasive anti Kelly book yet. Informative and entertaining till the end with new depth and significance to barely heard of before characters within the Kelly saga.
As with other anti Kelly books such as Leo Kennedys Black Snake the author unfortunately exposes his bias with periods of contemptuous opinions and omissions of key details that may shed a favourable light on Ned. I would love to see a Kelly book written without impartiality either way.
Absolutely loved the book though, AAA.

Thorough distortion.
One sided hopeless distortion. No wonder nobody is interested in this book with not one shred of kind things to say about the Kelly family being relentlessly hounded by often drunk constabulary. Garbage.
