50 reviewsAustralia and its formation - through the distorted view of a rum bottle.
Could the Rum Rebellion have been averted if Major Johnston wasn't too hungover to meet Governor Bligh?
Would the Eureka Stockade have played out differently if the rebels weren't pissed?
How were prisoners to get drunk if Macquarie closed the only pub in the jail?

Brimming with detailed research and irreverent character sketches, Rum looks at not just how much was drunk in colonial Australia (a lot!), but also the lengths people went to get their hands on it, the futile efforts of the early governors to control it and the often disastrous and/or absurd consequences of its consumption.
