by Aidan Phelan (Author)
In this new book by Aidan Phelan (A Guide to Australian Bushranging, Glenrowan) the true story of Aaron Sherritt's involvement in the Kelly saga is revealed. Was he truly the traitor he has been accused of being?
From his poverty-stricken childhood, to his lawless youth, we see Aaron's life reflecting the society around him and the emerging Australian identity. His close friendship with Joe Byrne sees them both in and out of mischief until Ned Kelly enters their lives and things spiral out of control.
Aaron is forced to make the difficult choice about whether he will protect his best friend and risk being imprisoned as a sympathiser, or help the police to catch him - or perhaps there is another option...
