Ned Kelly: The Outlaw Behind the Iron Mask (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798255145478)

Ned Kelly is Australia's most iconic outlaw.

A man who became more than a criminal.
A figure who became a legend.

But behind the iron mask lies a far more dangerous truth.

Born into poverty and marked early by police suspicion, Kelly grew up in a world where authority was not trusted and justice was uneven. What followed was not inevitable-but it was shaped by pressure, conflict, and a series of decisions that pushed him beyond the law.

He led a gang that robbed banks and defied the state.
He killed police officers.
He turned himself into a symbol of resistance.

And at Glenrowan, he planned an act that would have changed everything.

It failed.

What remained was something far more powerful-
an image that would define Australian history.

This book reveals the full reality behind the legend:

• The family pressures that shaped him
• The conflict that made him an outlaw
• The robberies that built his reputation
• The truth behind the armour
• The Glenrowan plan-and its collapse
• The line between rebellion and violence

This is not myth.

This is the man behind the mask.
