This book is so full of genuine angst and contempt against the lawmen who more often than not acted as the oppressors. Being an outlaw, the rationalizations and justifications given by Ned Kelly for his actions might be questioned by historians but there is a sense of crude but honest dignity apparent in the way he has written his account.

The introduction by Alex McDermott is a really good brief introduction to the context of the letter. And Kelly's letter is an epic read, really enjoyed seeing his perspective on the crazy events of his life.

This book is an incoherent yet interesting perspective on [b:Ned Kelly|110090|True History of the Kelly Gang A Novel|Peter Carey|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171631392s/110090.jpg|2134852]'s psyche and rationalization for his criminal activity.

An amazing perspective on Ned Kelly's life and how he saw himself, without all the propaganda and decrying of being a "cold-blooded murderer"
