Upcoming Book Alert: Doug Morrissey's Ned Kelly: A Lawless Life to be published Feb. 2015


Recently at the kellylegend.blogspot.com website there has been several discussions about Doug Morrissey and his 1987 thesis "Selectors, Squatters and Stock Thieves: A Social History of Kelly Country." In one of the comments sections "Chris H." alerted all of us to the fact that Morrissey was coming out with a new book called Ned Kelly: A Lawless Life. I had not heard about this before, so I googled around and found a link for it.

Here's hoping that even if I am not able to secure a copy of it, perhaps Brian can and he will give a review.
Also, for those interested, Brian Stevenson's multi-part review of Morrissey's 1987 thesis start here -
