ISBN10: 1863955615, ISBN13: 9781863955614, [publisher: Black Inc.] Softcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In 1787 a convoy of eleven ships, carrying about 1400 people, set out from England for Botany Bay. According to the conventional account, it was a shambolic affair: under-prepared, poorly equipped and ill-disciplined. Robert Hughes condemned the organisers' 'muddle and lack of foresight', while Manning Clark described scenes of 'indescribable misery and confusion'.In The First Fleet: The Real Story, Alan Frost draws on previously forgotten records to debunk these persistent myths. He shows that the voyage was in fact meticulously planned - reflecting its importance to the British government's secret ambitions for imperial expansion. He examines the ships and supplies, passengers and behind-the-scenes discussions. In the process, he reveals the hopes and schemes of those who planned the voyage, and the experiences of those who made it.
