"Robert Hughes's wonderfully written history of the convicts, The Fatal Shore, was to entice more readers than any other book on Australia's history . . ."
"an authoritative and engrossing record . . . this account, richly peopled with bizarre and compelling characters, is probably the most full-blooded and monumental treatment the subject has been given."
"[It] provide[s] a vivid portrayal of the human cost of Britain's colonial venture and how these experiences have helped shape modern Australia."
"[It] remains the most widely read representation of the old anti-British historical paradigm created from the 1940s to the 1970s by Marxists and other leftists in university history departments."
