About This Item
Adelaide, Rigby First edition - h/c in d.j. The story of Norfolk Island is an appalling example of man's inhumanity to man. The British government chose the beautiful island as a penal settlement because they hoped to develop it as a source of shipbuilding materials, but this simple decision led to a living hell for thousands of convicts. They suffered this hell at the hands of the Commsndants, the unchallenged rulers of this scrap of land far remote from higher authority. 220 x 145mm., pp. 180, b/w plates, refer, biblio., index, contents 7 d.j.
