The Crimes of the First Fleet Convicts by John Cobley is a detailed historical study of the men and women transported to Australia with the First Fleet in 1788. Using court records and archival documents, Cobley examines the specific crimes, sentences, and backgrounds of the convicts, revealing who they really were and why they were sent to the new colony. The book offers a factual, humanising look at the origins of Australia’s convict population and challenges common myths about them.
