"In Australia's folk memory, one event will forever stand as the great example of courage and resistance to authority: the Eureka Stockade.
"On the Ballarat goldfields, at dawn on 3 December 1854, 120 angry miners fought 276 police and soldiers in 'our own little rebellion'. The miners had risen in revolt against what they felt was a harsh and oppressive government. When the firing died down, five of the troops and thirty mines lay dead among the ruins of the Stockade, and a legend was about to be born.
"Here is the only full-length eye-witness account of the Eureka Stockade, published a year after the uprising, written by an Italian revolutionary who wrote the book to 'set the record straight'.
"This edition is introduced by Tom Keneally - writer, republican and upholder of human rights. To him, the events were 'a practical assertion of fair-goism which, at the cost of some anguish and death, produced good results' for the Australian people."
