The marines on the First Fleet refused to sail without it. Convicts
risked their necks to get hold of it. Rum built a hospital and
sparked a revolution, made fortunes and ruined lives. In a society
with few luxuries, liquor was power. It played a crucial role, not
just in the lives of individuals like James Squire - the London
chicken thief who became Australia's first brewer - but in the
transformation of a starving penal outpost into a prosperous
trading port. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary sources, Grog
offers an intoxicating look at the first decades of European
settlement and explores the origins of Australia's fraught love
affair with the hard stuff.
