Beskrivelse
Published by CUSTOM BOOK PUBLICATIONS ... ... It is the year 1819... This is not just another account of savagery in the blood-soaked penal history of colonial transportation; it captures the most revolutionary experiment in enlightened penal policy in the world's history. This is a saga of despair, followed amazingly by hope unfolding in the colonies of New South Wales, Tasmania and ultimately in the hell hole of Norfolk Island. The convict population are crushed under the heel of a deformed monster who would not have been out of place in Auschwitz yet one man, a humanitarian of truly awesome courage, creates a brief period of magical hope. Blended into the story is a tale from modern times where a young lawyer is drawn into a desperate bid for freedom by a convict convicted for multiple murders. Halfway Human sprawls across the centuries, a gripping crusade for love, forgiveness and freedom.
